Excerpt from this article:
"Various news media reported the death
toll has surpassed 5,500, with Prime Minister Sushil Koirala predicting
it could rise to 10,000. Hundreds of thousands remain homeless. At least
8 million people have been affected by the earthquake, and at least 1.4
million victims are in need of food and clean water. With electricity
also in short supply, officials fear outbreaks of disease."
