Another cruel reminder

The 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Morocco makes Nepalis mindful of their own vulnerability.

The world is mourning the lives of around 3,000 people killed in the devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco on September 8, also damaging property and the old city of Marrakech, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nepal, a country that has witnessed the deadliest earthquakes, cannot help but reflect on its own vulnerability to earthquakes as Morocco goes through its worst times.
