【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2015 年 4 月 26 日尼泊爾加德滿都訊】 ─ 4月25日早上11時45分左右，尼泊爾發生強烈地震。首都加德滿都遭受重創。比拉德訥格爾及Sirsiya亦感受到頗強烈震動，但暫未收到傷亡及損毀報告。然而，加德滿都有近850人遇難，而死亡數字將會繼續上升。（現在傷亡數字己大幅提升。）

由於網絡故障、電力供應中斷（雖然有太陽能設備，但天氣不佳，沒有陽光）、運輸工具缺乏，我們無法取得最新消息。根據電台報導，加德滿都有過百所房屋倒塌或受損。鄰近市鎮如波卡拉及Tippling等，都受到不同程度的影響。

我們位於Thecho及Lubu的學校，牆壁出現裂痕。兩所學校的部份複合牆體倒塌。（我們將附上有關照片）

Deadly earthquake Nepal: First report from the Salesian in Kathmand

(ANS - Nepal –Kathmandu, 26 April 2015  By Tony Cherian) – There was a strong earthquake at around 11.45 am. Kathmandu is worst hit. In Biratnagar and Sirsiya though it was quite strong, so far no damage or death is noticed. But in Kathmandu nearly 850 people have already lost their lives and more numbers are yet to come.

We are not able to get news due to net work problems, lack of power supply (even though we have solar system to day the weather is very poor and no sunshine) and lack of transport. As per the radio report there are over 100 houses collapsed or affected in kathmandu. There are also problems in near by towns like Pokhra, Tippling etc.

Our institutions both in Thecho and Lubu have cracks on the walls. The compound walls of both the houses are collapsed in some parts. (we will attach the photos of it)
