Kathmandu: Nepal Health Minister Khaga Raj Adhikari said on Saturday that the ministry is putting all its strength to combat a possible epidemic situation after an earthquake last weekend left the Himalayan nation in tatters.
The death toll from the 7.8 magnitude quake which devastated the densely-populated Kathmandu Valley on April 25 has risen above 6,200, with more than 14,000 injured. Meanwhile, relief operations were being carried out by the Israeli Army in a camp and medical aid were being provided to the victims.
Israel sent a team of 285 rescue and medical personnel to Kathmandu, earlier this week. The army had in fact rented two commercial Boeing 747 to carry medical and rescue personnel as well as almost 100 tonnes of supplies.
