Nepal marks one month since quake

Hundreds of people have held a candlelight vigil in Nepal’s capital to mark one month since the earthquake that killed thousands of people and affected millions.

About 200 people gathered at the Brikutimandap grounds in the heart of Kathmandu to remember the dead. They held a minute of silence, lit candles and signed messages in memory of those killed.

“We are here to pray for peace of the people who were killed and to pledge that we will rebuild the country,” student Suresh Niraula said.
