Nepal revisited, one year after the deadly earthquake
4:03 PM
Ceremonies were held last Sunday in Nepal in memory of the victims of the earthquake that devastated the Himalayan country a year ago. On April 25, 2015, Nepal was shaken to its core when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck high up in the Himalayas. Around 9,000 people died and hundreds of thousands were left homeless. Thousands of homes and buildings across the country were toppled. One year later, our reporters went back to Nepal to see how the country is recovering. As we walk through dusty Kathmandu, signs of the havoc wrecked by the powerful earthquake are easy to find. The streets may have been cleared of debris, but in several parts of the city it is easy to come across piles of bricks where a house used to stand, or to find buildings with cracks and gaping holes.
