20-30 Israelis in Nepal out of touch, Chabad rabbi says
Chabad Nepal co-director Rabbi Chesky Lipshitz says 20-30 Israelis have not yet made contact with the Chabad House in Kathmandu.
The quake this morning was much more strongly felt, Lipshitz tells Walla news, adding that surrogate families were in real danger. Lipshitz says that buildings that were merely damaged in the first quake two weeks ago collapsed to the ground.
He says equipment left behind by the IDF was used to treat the wounded.
The death toll today stands at 42, with some 1,200 injured.
