Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."
Rescuers digging through the rubble of what was once the village of Langtang have said it’s likely they will never be able to find all the victims of the earthquake and landslide.
“The entire village was wiped out by the mudslide. There were some 60 houses there, but they were all buried under rubble. It will be impossible to recover all the bodies,” government official Gautam Rimal said to CBS.
The village is only 35 miles north of the capital of Kathmandu, but because of damage to the region it now takes rescuers two days to reach the site. Helicopters can fly in but because they are in very short supply they cannot make regular relief runs to the town.
The death toll from the quake has officially passes 7,500.
Government officials say that one-third of the population of Kathmandu has left the city. While some have returned to try and find or help relatives, the bus stations are still packed with people who are trying to leave.
The population of the region with the capital city was 2.5 million at the time of the quake.
Some parts of the city are returning to normal with some markets reopening and fresh food and vegetables being made available to residents. USAID announced $11 million in emergency supplies for the region including safe drinking water.
