I found this new on the BBC web, it was written a few days ago so here it goes:
Last 25th April there was a very strong earthquake in the Himalaya which mostly affected nepal's citizens although the epicentre was in Gorkha, very far from the damaged zone. The earthquake's strenght was measured wth the Richter scale and it got 7.8 points. It's devastation has been so big because it occured suddendly. Geologists think that the earthquake occured because the lava under some volcanoes moved aggresively. Another theory is the continents collision, which is not proovable because scientists say that they would have spotted that.
Nepal has suffered the most agressive ones, more than 100 aftershocks hit Nepal after the principal one. The most important aftershock took place in Katmandhu, and was 7,2 strong which is almost like the original one.
There are more than 2000 disappeared people and above 3000 dead people. This numbers are insignificant compared to the people who have lost their home, their job even their life.
I leave some pics here:
