  • 05 AUGUST 2015 - KATHMANDU, NEPAL: With her granddaughter watching her in their tent. CHANDRA MAYA SUNAR, 57 years old, breathes through an oxygen mask in a large Internal Displaced Person (IDP) Camp in the center of Kathmandu. She came to Kathmandu with her family from Sindupalchok after the earthquake. The camp is next to one the most expensive international hotels in Kathmandu. More than 7,100 people displaced by the Nepal earthquake in April live in 1,800 tents spread across the space of three football fields. There is no electricity in the camp. International NGOs provide water and dug latrines on the edge of the camp but the domestic waste water, from people doing laundry or dishes, runs between the tents. Most of the ground in the camp is muddy from the running water and frequent rain. Most of the camp's residents come from the mountains in northern Nepal, 8 - 12 hours from Kathmandu. The residents don't get rations or food assistance so every day many of them walk the streets of Kathmandu looking for day work.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Tourism, which accounts for about 8% of the Nepal economy, has virtually collapsed since the earthquake in April causing more damage to the Nepali economy. The areas most heavily damaged, historic sites in the Kathmandu valley and trekking trails in the Himalaya Mountains, are the most popular tourist areas and the earthquake struck in the middle of the tourist high season. The Nepal Earthquake on April 25, 2015, (also known as the Gorkha earthquake) killed more than 9,000 people and injured more than 23,000. It had a magnitude of 7.8. The epicenter was east of the district of Lamjung, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi). It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake. The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at least 19. The earthquake also set off an avalanche in the Langtang valley, where 250 people were reported missing. Hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless with entire villages flattened across many districts of the country. Centuries-old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley, including some at the Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Patan Durbar Squar, the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Changu Narayan Temple and the Swayambhunath Stupa. Geophysicists and other experts had warned for decades that Nepal was vulnerable to a deadly earthquake, particularly because of its geology, urbanization, and architecture.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
