This link goes to an article about a large Earthquake (6.9 magnitude) that took place earlier today in India by the Himalaya region. As a result of the earthquake, 53 people died and 100,000 homes got damaged at least so far affecting other regions of southern Asia as well. The quake also provided some large mudslides which were also responsible for damage. Relief efforts were halted during a large rainstorm and a great deal of military personnel have been working frantically to help save people, many of the rescuers have been killed or hurt as well. It seems like these poor regions of the world have been getting hammered by these large disasters, especially in the recent last few years and this disaster seems like it affected much of the Asian continent.
this is a picture of some of the damage.
