Top 7 Twitter Accounts To Follow for #NepalQuake Updates

Yeah I know, the Nepal Earthquake isn’t on the front page of newspapers anymore, but there’s still a lot happening on the ground in Nepal. The rubble has largely been cleared, but with monsoon around the corner and many other challenges, the #NepalQuake disaster is far from over.

I know what you’re thinking: “BuzzFeed? Really!?” Yeah. Who knew they’re much more than just piles of low-quality click-bait junk? Anup live-tweeted from Nepal while he was here at @AnupKaphle, but his articles on Buzz Feed are not to be missed. Read The Ghosts of Larpak for Anup’s in-depth report from a village near the quake’s epicenter.
