Urgent Help Needed: Earthquake Devastation in Jajarkot, Nepal
The night of November 3, 2023, marked a devastating turn of events for the people of Jajarkot, Nepal. A powerful earthquake, measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale, struck with its epicenter in Ramidanda, Jajarkot District, many lives and infrastructure. At least 157 plus lives were lost, reported in Jajarkot and in Western Rukum. The toll on human lives continues to rise, with several hundred more reported injured.
The aftermath is serious. Health facilities, already stretched thin, are now overwhelmed, particularly in Rukum and Banke. Hospitals are struggling to treat the injured, with Bheri Hospital in Banke now prioritizing patients in serious condition. The geographic remoteness of Jajarkot and Rukum adds another layer of complexity to the rescue and relief efforts, with communication challenges intensifying the situation.
