4. Aftermath
• Nepal
The earthquake killed more than 8,600 in Nepal and injured
more than twice as many. The rural death toll may have been
lower than it would have been as the villagers were outdoors,
working when the quake hit. As of 15 May, 6,271 people,
including 1,700 from the 12 May aftershock, were still
receiving treatment for their injuries. More than 450,000
people were displaced.

16 in Uttar Pradesh, 3 in West Bengal and 1 in
Rajasthan.

have been damaged.

8. Economics Loss

9. Social Effects
 It was reported that the survivors were preyed upon
by human traffickers involved in supply of girls and
women to the brothels of South Asia.The most
affected were the poor communities who lost their
homes.

10. Rescue & Relief
• About 90 percent of soldiers from the Nepalese Army were
sent to the stricken areas in the aftermath of the earthquake
under Operation Sankat Mochan, with volunteers mobilized
from other parts of the country. Rainfall and aftershocks were
factors complicating the rescue efforts, with potential
secondary effects like additional landslides and further
building collapses being concerns. Impassable roads and
damaged communications infrastructure posed substantial
challenges to rescue efforts. Survivors were found up to a
week after the earthquake.

11. A United States Marine
helicopter crashed on 12 May
while involved in delivering
relief supplies. The crash
occurred at Charikot, roughly
45 miles (72 kilometers) east
of Kathmandu. Two Nepalese
soldiers and 6 American
soldiers died in the crash.

13. Repair & Reconstruction
 UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture began strengthening
damaged monuments in danger of collapsing before the
monsoon season. Subsequent restoration of collapsed
structures, including historic houses is planned.

14.  UNESCO designated seven groups of multi-ethnic
monuments clustered in the valley as a single World
Heritage Site, including Swayambhu, the Durbar squares
of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, and the Hindu
temples of Pashupati and Changu Narayan. Damaged in
the quakes were the structures in the three Durbar
squares, the temple of Changu Narayan, and the 1655
temple in Sankhu. Drones fly above above cultural
heritage sites to provide 3D images of the damage to use
for planning repairs.
