How are people being helped?
Ways of helping
There are thousands of people trapped on Nepal. With the 8,000 casualties, it is difficult to find survivors. But the main way is drones. These drones have been proved to be more helpful than humans themselves. They have the ability to fly into small small places and take pictures where humans can't. To help these people out people are going all over the social media.(Stephanie Marsh, ABC news)There are over 800 accounts just to help Nepal.(Siobhan Heanue, ABC news)These accounts consist of food drives/water distribution/ and donating money for shelters and rescue attempts. The accounts are mainly on Facebook, but there are a few on Twitter and Instagram.
