This follows 7.7-magnitude quake in Myanmar

The Nepal quake comes only a week after a powerful 7.7-magnitude temblor hit Myanmar on March 28, which caused widespread devastation. More than 3,000 people lost their lives, and over 4,500 were left injured; at least 341 people are still missing. At that time, strong tremors were felt across Myanmar's neighboring countries like China, Vietnam, Thailand, and many parts of India as well.
