The Observer on Sunday:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/25/nepal-quake-kills-more-than-1000
with Ilan Kelman's ecapsulating statement:
“Nepal has some of the world’s best people and initiatives for
community-based seismic risk reduction and earthquake education. But the
country has also suffered terrible conflicts, poor governance and
heart-wrenching poverty, all of which created and perpetuated the
vulnerability which has been devastatingly exposed during the shaking.
The pictures and reports emerging do not bode well for other
earthquake-prone cities with similar vulnerabilities.”
