Devastating Nepal Earthquake Claims Dozens of Lives and Leaves Families Buried in Rubble

A powerful earthquake struck western Nepal, resulting in at least 157 deaths and leaving many families buried under collapsed homes. Most of the casualties occurred when houses made of rocks and logs crumbled under the force of the tremor. Rescue operations were hindered by blocked roads and the remote locations of affected villages. The government is working to provide aid to the affected areas, including tents, food, and medicine. The death toll is expected to rise as communication remains cut off in many places.
