<br />
He lived through the last major earthquake to hit Nepal 81 years ago in 1934. He remembers nothing of the first earthquake but said their house survived. During the 2015 earthquake he was outside his house sweeping, but fell down because the ground was shaking so violently and crawled a few metres away and in that time the house collapsed, luckily no one was inside at the time.<br />

  • 6th May 2015, Kathmandu, Nepal.  Ruku Khattri Chhetri (89) in Ramkot village, near Kathmandu, on the 6th May 2015.<br />
<br />
This mother of 7 lived through the last major earthquake to hit Nepal 81 years ago in 1934. She remembers it clearly, she was 8 years old at that time and was carrying her little 3 year old brother outside in the fields. When the earthquake struck she kneeled down and shielded him to protect him, the ground and nearby buildings shook violently  she saw a cloud of dust rise 'like fog in winter'  from nearby Bimdungar village caused by all the falling buildings, it happened very fast and many people died. She stayed where she was until her grandfather came and found them - as her parents were not available. Her father had jumped from the second story of their house during the earthquake to save himself and broken his leg.<br />
<br />
During the 2015 earthquake she was outside her house and fell to the ground when the earth shook, she found herself covered in dust from her house that had collapsed behind her , she crawled away crying for help and was soon rescued by neighbours. When asked about the future she said  ‘I fear more suffering is to come since I am still alive’ .‘If another earthquake comes I want to die fast, I don’t want to be injured’. She lost one eye to cancer and is all but blind in the other. <br />
