Devastating Earthquake Near Everest Claims 95 Lives

 


Western China was struck by a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday morning, near the border with Nepal. The quake, centered in the Tibet region, has tragically claimed at least 95 lives and injured over 130 people. The epicenter was located about 50 miles northeast of Mount Everest causing tremors felt as far away as Kathmandu.

The region continues to experience aftershocks, adding to the challenges faced by rescue teams and local residents. The Mount Everest scenic area on the Chinese side has been closed, and relief operations are ongoing.

This disaster serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present seismic activity in the Himalayan region, which has seen numerous powerful quakes over the past century.
