BhaktapurEarthquake2YrsLater

03 MARCH 2017 - BHAKTAPUR, NEPAL: A worker in the rebuilding of Bhaktapur's Durbur Square, the historic center of the city. Bhaktapur, a popular tourist destination and one of the most historic cities in Nepal was one of the hardest hit cities in the earthquake. Recovery seems to have barely begun nearly two years after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 that devastated Nepal. In some villages in the Kathmandu valley workers are working by hand to remove ruble and dig out destroyed buildings. About 9,000 people were killed and another 22,000 injured by the earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake was east of the Gorka district. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
