It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake. The quake was followed by hundreds of aftershocks, and only 17 days later, there was another major quake, a magnitude 7.3 temblor. Thirty-nine of the nation's 75 districts with a population of 8 million people - about a third of the national population - were affected.
