On April 25 at 11:56 local time, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, with the epicenter in Lamjung District, about 50 miles northwest of Kathmandu and just south of the China border. Dozens of aftershocks followed, including a 6.7 magnitude earthquake on April 26. There are over 4,300 fatalities & more than 8,100 people have been injured, but we know these numbers are likely to significantly increase in the days and weeks to come. More than 8 million people have been affected.
