At least 970 people are known to have died in a powerful earthquake in Nepal, with many more feared trapped under rubble, officials say.

The 7.8 magnitude quake struck an area between the capital, Kathmandu, and the city of Pokhara, the US Geological Survey said.

Tremors were felt across the region, with further loss of life in India, Bangladesh, Tibet and on Mount Everest.

The government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas.

Nepali Information Minister Minendra Rijal said there had been "massive damage" at the epicentre, from where little information is emerging.

Be on the look out for 419 emails for NOK of the victims.

Whilst this would normally be under the news thread, it's important to note that the scammers will be all over this, especially as one of the top Google blokes has been killed in an avalanche.
There will also be the relief aid scammers targetting this one.

I was in Nepal last year (Kathmandu). So sorry to read about and see the damage the earthquake caused. Most buildings in Nepal were not built to withstand any type of disturbance.

Thoughts and prayers for Nepal.

I know, it's so sad. I've been following it on the news and I made a donation (yes a legit one). I've never been there but it was on my bucket list.
