| Wiped out: The city remains short on shelter, fuel, food, medicine and power as its people searched for lost loved ones in the rubble |
These
incredible images reveal the extent of destruction wreaked across
Kathmandu following Saturday's earthquake, as it emerged that the city
moved 10 feet in just 30 seconds during the devastating tremor.
Shocking
images show a once lively Durbar Square, filled with locals, tourists
and rickshaw drivers, now reduced to a mound of rubble, with desperate
residents gathered in the open space amid fears their homes will
collapse.
The
iconic Dharahara Tower, previously a central focus of the Nepalese
capital, is also now only visible as a barely-recognisable ruin,
surrounded by scattered debris.
Meanwhile,
aerial images taken from a drone across the city have revealed huge
cracks in roads, fallen monuments and flattened houses after the
Nepalese capital was rocked by a 7.8-magnitude tremor at the weekend.
