A powerful Earthquake in western Nepal has killed at least 157 people, with the death toll expected to rise. The earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 5.6, occurred in the middle of the night and caused houses to collapse, burying entire families. Rescuers are facing difficulties reaching affected areas due to blocked roads caused by landslides triggered by the earthquake. Aid in the form of tents, food, and medicine is being flown in as thousands have become homeless overnight. Nepal, a mountainous country, is prone to earthquakes, with a devastating earthquake in 2015 killing almost 9,000 people.
