Yet another strong quake to shake the world this week.(CNN)A massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake has struck Nepal less than 50 miles from the capital, Kathmandu, the U.S. Geological Survey said Saturday. Witnesses said people were killed and injured, and historic buildings in Kathmandu had tumbled to the ground.
CNN's Manesh Shrestha, who was himself injured, said he saw five bodies at a hospital. People with severe injuries were being treated outside, with doctors administering CPR on at least one person, Shrestha said.
"It's quite chaotic," he said. "People are wailing, crying."
Shrestha, who needed stitches, was turned away because other people were more seriously injured.
Avalanches were reported on Mount Everest, sending mountaineers running for cover.
