In Nepal, the death toll from a 7.8-magnitude earthquake has topped 7,500. Scores of bodies have been discovered in the remote village of Langtang along a popular Himalayan trekking route. It’s believed the entire village was wiped out. Nepali foreign minister Mahendra Bahadur Pandey said the death toll could still reach 10,000.
Mahendra Bahadur Pandey: “There may be 10,000 people to be dead, it is supposed. But we wish it not have to be in that number. But the final number will be at the time when we’ll complete to remove the debris and find out what is the result of it.”
