Earthquakes also seriously affected other countries in the region.India has so far recorded 66 deaths, China has 18 deaths and 4 deaths in Bangladesh, according to Reuters.

The search and rescue work became more difficult because of heavy rain and lightning. Bad weather conditions are forecast to continue.

Feeling bewildered, desperate is covering the capital Kathmandu. People were completely overwhelmed by the great devastation of the earthquake. The roads were blocked by tens of thousands of campers, located right on the street because their houses were destroyed or they did not dare to return because fear of aftershocks continued.

The Nepalese government still seems to be embarrassed in the rescue work, those who are still trapped in the rubble by limited equipment. Many rescue workers said they had to dig up the soil by hand and were very tired, exhausted because they had to stay up all night.

" In my neighborhood, obviously not seeing the police force," the New York Times quoted Sridhar Khatri from the South Asia Policy Research Center in Kathmandu. "There is not even a demonstration of force to prevent vandalism. Some report that this behavior is increasing."

China has also launched an emergency humanitarian aid plan for Nepal.
