"Nepal Earthquake: Desperate Search for Survivors as Death Toll Rises"

TL;DR Summary
Rescue workers in Nepal are searching for survivors after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the Jajarkot region, killing at least 157 people. The death toll is expected to rise as first responders reach the area near the epicenter, where poor construction quality and the timing of the quake while people slept contributed to the high damage and casualties. Rescue efforts are hindered by blocked roads due to landslides, but helicopters and small planes are being prepared to assist. This is the deadliest earthquake in Nepal since 2015, when two earthquakes killed around 9,000 people.
