QUAKE SHELTER. Survivors are seen at a corridor of the Jajarkot district hospital in the aftermath of an earthquake in Jajarkot on November 4, when a shallow 5.6-magnitude earthquake hit a remote pocket of Nepal, officials said. The tremor hit the far west of the Himalayan country late Friday and was measured by the US Geological Survey at just 18 kilometers deep.
Mud houses were flattened or damaged as survivors crouched outside for safety, the sirens of emergency vehicles wailing. National police spokesman Kuber Kathayat said that authorities had tallied more than 100 others injured across both districts. In neighboring India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was “deeply saddened” by the loss of lives.
Nearly 9,000 people died and more than 22,000 were injured in 2015 when a 7.8-magnitude quake struck Nepal, destroying more than half a million homes.
