Kathmandu Residents still live in fear of Aftershocks of Earthquake

Kathmandu: Kathmandu residents said they were living in fear of aftershocks on Saturday, a week after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck the Himalayan nation, killing more than 6,200 and reducing many parts of the city to rubble.

Many have been sleeping in the open since the quake, with survivors afraid to return to their homes because of powerful aftershocks.

Furthermore, Makwanpur district have been still waiting for aid since the earthquake struck the country. The area is not very accessible — there is only one dirt road that links them to the rest of the country. The residents feed themselves with what they grow, and rely on the men working in Kathmandu to bring back money.

Plan International, an aid organisation focusing on the well-being of children, reached the area to assess the essential needs of the badly-affected community .
