safest place to be. the quake destroyed monuments and historic buildings. have a look at the bimson tower in kathmandu. this is after the tremor reduced it to rubble. the epicenter was between kathmandu and pokara. many were injured. two people were killed in bangladesh after the quake's tremors hit. tibet and china felt the impact. six people died in tibet and two chinese citizens were killed at the nepal/china border. of course, the hardest hit area is kathmandu. more than 630 people were reported dead in kathmandu

valley. sabina reports from the capital. >> reporter: it's the most powerful earthquake in nepal for decades. people described wave after wave of tremors. the army sifting the rubble brick by brick, looking for signs of life as well as bodies. the number of people killed is rapidly increasing. hundreds of bodies have been recovered. >> this is a calamity of tremendous proportions. they asked people to come so relief can be sought. people can be contacted if rescue is needed. we are trying to do whatever is best possible at this hour. >> hospital beds have been set up on the streets and in the wards, treatment is basic. nepal is asking india to send mobile medical teams.

have been destroyed. nepal is facing a major disaster and it's asking its neighbors for help. sabrina, al jazeera, kathmandu. >> parts of india have also been affected by thequake. the focus of the aid operation is to supply as much relief as it can. >> the focus, though of this particular relief operation even on the indian side has been providing as much help as possible to nepal. at present over the course of the day here in india, you have had four air force planes that have taken off and landed in nepal with four tons of aid. more is expected to be sent from india through to nepal over sunday and the days ahead. we are also seeing some scale in terms of the ground mobilization of resources from india. indian rail weighs sending 100,000 bottles of water by rail to nepal.

there is quite a historic link and significance between the two neighbors, nots just because of geographic proximity but also because of the population keeping in mind many thousands of nepalese live in india and many indians live in nepal and work there. >> i am joined by fatima lusha. thank you for being with us on the program. what information are you getting from nepal, itself about just how bad the situation is in the worst hit areas? . >> i think it's a tough situation on the ground. we are seeing from all of the television pictures how strong the destruction is. we have people on the ground. we have offices in nepal in various areas spread across the country. we have been trying to account for our staff. there are still some people we have not been able to contact, but we are gearing up for a massive aid operation.

what is at stake is, for example, food. we have food trucks on the ground in the country. we are also mobilizing our regional emergency teams. one thing that is very important in a situation like this quake, if it happens, people as you can see in the pictures they are standing on the streets. their houses are destroyed. they cannot cook anymore. so we are bringing in these high energy biscuits. it's 450 calories. it keeps you alive. you don't need water. you don't need to cook anything. and we have those in other countries, and we are getting ready to bring those in. the u.n. also is sending in assessment teams. we are part of that as the world food program to really see what needs to be done. but it will take a lot. it will take a lot of logistics. it will take food water, shelter. nepal will need help for a long long time. >> indeed. one of the reasons the world food program is already in nepal is this is a country that already has a lot of poverty and suffers from under development. doesn't it? >> yes it does indeed.

we are doing a lot of work. we are taking care of some half a million nepalese families, women and children and, you know, who need to help desperately. the world food program has been on the ground in nepal for over 50 years and that's why we have the presence there. but there is also another interesting factor through all of this. just within the last four weeks, we together with the nepal ease government built a humanitarian staging area at the international airport there for exactly this kind of disaster. we have been working for years now on being better prepared for these kind of natural disasters so that we have staging areas the british government has given us money for that. and we are coordinating with our other emergency teams in the region. see, what happens is if a country gets struck like this, you need to bring aid in from the outside and we have these humanitarian response depots

that the world food program is running on behalf of the u.n. where we have everything you need to do a big intervention. you know storage warehouses technical equipment, it equipment, satellite phones. all of that is needed. [containers. so we have our expert teams who have a lot of experiences in this understand by their working on it the teams will be going in on sunday and coordinate with the people on the ground. >> how does that coordinate and work because, of course as we know, when we see a natural draft disaster like this, many aid organizations rush to try to help. but it's important that coordination does take place. exactly. i think we have gotten very very good at that. and we always learn from past disasters. you basically have the whole international community coming together there, meeting, and everything is responsible for a different area. one organization might do the shelter. the other one might do water. the world food program does food

and we help with our logistical expertise. all of the other aid organizations, so that we all can work together that it's done e firnlt, smart, that we can bring, you know, the aid workers and the supplies that are needed. and if you want to help if this is something that touches you go to wfp.org/nepal, and make a small donation. everybody can chime in and can help as we watch this disaster and the aftermath unfold. it doesn't take much to make a donation and we will urgently need, you know huge amounts of funds to take care of this operation and to take care of the people the people we serve, families like you and me who now have lost everything. >> we wish you the best with your operation. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> well the quake triggered an avalanche near the mount he haver est base camp telling at

least 10 peopleeverest base camp telling at least 10 people with more than 800,000 visitors heading to the company, most come from trekking and himalayan mountain climbing. from the alpine rescue service, he says rescue efforts are now well underway. >> we will be immediately arranging for the rescue mission and given the weather conditions if it's favorable, we will leave immediately and go to the gateway to everest. we will arrange our rescue. our ground rescue team is already in operation. the huge difficulty we face is in terms of communication problems because without communication, it's very hard to coordinate and given the intermittent problems we are facing in fact, you know the telephone lines are sometimes switching on and off and we are trying to sort this thing out. but i think it's being felt all over the nation and that is why it's a bit hard for us to, you know to reciprocate

information. >> joining me from glocgloucester who has climbed everest many times. what are you hearing about just how bad the situation is at base camp at the moment? >> hello, you are live on air. i am checking if you can hear me. >> that's a shame. we are going to try to reestablish our connection with him. let's try one more time. it's felicity barr. we are live on air. can you hear me? >> i can. >> we have our communications with you now. you know the area very well. you know base camp very well at everest. just how bad is the situation there now? what are you hearing from people you know? >> well the same as your guest

said. communication has been challenging today, a combination of bad weather, a realignment of satellites manying satellite is tricky. it's hard to get a good grasp of exactly what the situation is there speaking to people there this morning, from what we can gather firsthand information is a number came caskcadeing down the peeks this morning and created a did he have 125i9ing effect on base

>> very bad weather there. helicopters can't fly in and out of base camp. the situation at base camp right now would be pretty desperate. >> a terrible situation, a busy time of year. many people at this time of year attempt to climb everest. don't they? >> they do. i mean we are coming toward the end of april. it's pretty much peak climbing season. at base camp, itself and this does surprise people sometime. there are probably 1,000 people or so at everest base camp. some of those people eventually will be higher on the mountain as they get climbtized for climbing everest but everest base camp is swell happily to perhaps even 1,000 people at base camp. so a lot of people there.

it is peak climbing season. it's only pretty much april, may and it may be september/october time where there are climbers at everest base camp. so this terrible terrible situation has occurred at exactly the wrong time in terms of human fatality. >> yeah. it's a desperate situation. we appreciate your insight into what life is like there at the moment. thank you for joining us. >> it's a pleasure. all right. still to come on this al jazeera news hour more migrants arrive in italy after being rescued in the mediterranean. people in togo head to the polls. will it be a third term in power for the country's current president? continuing to prove he is the man to beat in barcelona. the first syrian activists

across africa. ethiopia is one of the main sources. every years, hundreds of desperate people hazard smugglers sea and desert. >> almost everyone here knew at least five young men killed along the my grant by isil in libya last week. they were headed to europe through a well-traveled smuggling route. the plan was to cross the mediterraneanian sea to italy. in the neighborhood where three of them grew up many joined their families in mourning. they were inconsolable their pain hard to you describe. >> they were looking for a better life. many of their friends here are also desperate to leave. those we talked to said that life is difficult and staying in ethiopia is not an option. >> these are some of the childhood friends who saw them off two months ago. they hoped to follow soon and

feelings and their sentiments about the freddy gray case and, also the goal of this day's rally is that national leaders and organizers can explain the freddy gray case in the context of the national epidemic of police killing amongst black men. >> al jazeera is live in baltimore at one of the rallies. tell us what's going on. >> what happened was a series of marches went through the streets of baltimore and have now converged here at city hall. we say about a couple of thousand people actually have converged right now here there are a lot of speeches clearly asking: what happened to freddy gray? one of the marchers or several marchers emerged from west baltimore where freddy ray was arrested and had three of hez neck vertebrae broken. he sustained a smashed voice box and 80% of his spine severed by the time he got to the police station after a rather cism

rcuitous route in the a police wagon. the police are hanging back as they have throughout the week of the protests. it's there at city hall we will get the initial findings from the police as to what may or may not have happened. it will be presented to the mayor in city hall. however, speaker after speaker here keeps on saying when a genocide is being committed against you -- and that's what many people say is happening in the u.s. against blam peekople why would you ask the people committing the genocide for answers as to what's actually going on? i am here actually if you walk over here, there is one of the other organizers from mr. mr. shabazz, another organizer with us as well. what are the specific demands now today from these thousands of people here? >> all right. first, i would like to say thank you all over the world for listening to the problems we are having here in america. america has an epidemic of police brutality. one of the demands that we want we want an all independent civilian review board in every

city and every district. we do not believe that the police can police themselves. we know they cannot police themselves. we want to make sure that anybody and everybody that is involved with any type of police brutality is suspended without pay pending the outcome of an investigation. we have a whole list of demands that we want put into legislation. we want the blue wall of silence to be knocked down. we want the good officers -- and there ain't that many of them but we want them to be able to stand up and freely speak out against any brutality without any. reconciliation, anything coming out against them. we want all of our legislators that are running for office in 2016 to make this a national issue. we want to know what hillary clinton is going to do what she is going to propose to deal with this epidemic. and what jeb bush is going to do. what are you going to do? >> thank you very much. that's the point that this isn't

by themselves. but however, we have been alerted by the local media as well to not to -- to remain safe but the announcement from the local authority, don't get into houses including myself and family and numbers neighbors inside the house. so, the organization we are concerned about the most vulnerable children who have been impacted by this massive, massive earthquake. a lot to be accounted for. i was just -- some of my friends and staff, in the aff, in the

. again, it's one of the big challenges. not only is the country vulnerable to a number of different disasters but the people that are in the country are suffering from a range of different social and economic troubles. there are high rates of poverty. one of the real big challenges

actually when you are trying to think through what kind of disaster risk management practices do you need? really ultimately, you need funds to be able to do that. that's quite challenging, particularly in a country where they suffer from repeated disasters and those disasters are setting back development gains. >> i guess one add vant alan might be the fact that there are already many charity aid organizations already actually working in nepal. and they do know the country very well. they have the contacts i guess. >> yeah. definitely. i think -- i mean we have seen from the footage, it's inwhich he hadbly important for international efforts to be supporting local organizations as well as the government. they are the first responders. when you look at the communities that are actually in the rubble trying to dig out friends, family colleagues, they are the people that we really need to be supporting. >> and the long-term future of nepal, as you say, it seems having to recovery from disaster after disaster. there were building efforts -- the rebuilding efforts that go on have to be efforts that

actually make sure the buildings can withstand another earthquake earthquake. they are to be better buildings than exist already? >> yes. i mean there is a lot of efforts particularly by the government of nepal to do what we call build back better which is essentially use the opportunity of the aftermath of the disaster to really think through what needs to change and in particular i think, the kathmandu, they are going to be more stricter. >> is that difficult in an undeveloped country where the infrastructure isn't so good? is it difficult to enforce that with people who are very poor and obviously going to build buildings as cheaply as they can? >> yeah. that's exactly the problem. there are good policies in place to actually think about how you build and how you, you areban eyes safely. the challenges are not enforced. suddenly enforcing them is not necessarily going to help because we need to think about why are families living in particularly vulnerable areas. often it's not free choice. people don't live in areas exposed to disasters because they want to be affected. they live there because they

often -- they have no choice. >> great to have you with us. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> it has been almost a month since iraq's government forces drove isil fighters out of tikrit. but now many residents are still too scared to return fearing sectarian attacks. >> tikrit remains a ghost city. many parts of it destroyed. there was fierce fighting between isil and the government forces backed by shia pera militants. battle scars are everywhere. there are also signs of looting and arson attacks carried out by the malitias. the government admits some members of the popular mobilization forces committed these acts. it says it will hold them accountable. security forces here say all pera militaries have left the cityara militaries have left the city city. they are calling on people to return home. >> i am from tikrit and i tell the people and the families to
