Sad Memories #NepalPhotoProject on Instagram relives the tragedy in pictures

A teenager is carried on a stretcher after being rescued by Nepalese policemen and U.S. rescue workers from a building that collapsed five days after the devastating Earthquake.

After the death of 7,000 people in the last earthquake which measured 7.8 on the Richter scale, survivors have put together an Instagram project.
This project-#NepalPhotoProject seeks to communicate pictorially, the damages and survival stories during the disaster.
#NepalPhotoProject will also help people outside the affected areas keep abreast of rescue and relief efforts, including survivor statistics and information.
Here are some pictures from the #NepalPhotoProject.

Inside an India Air Force rescue helicopter, on our way back from Sindhupalchowk, 9-year-old Suresh Tamang looks on while his father Mirghe stares outside the window. Suresh's left leg is bent like a bow and his forehead and left eye is swollen after a portion of his home fell on him. A technician in the helicopter asked them if they have eaten anything. Too dazed to respond, the young man didn't wait long enough for them to answer and offered Suresh a Dairy Milk bar. The boy from Singerchya wanted a sip of water first and offered him a bottle lying under the seat. Unable to open the packet, he insisted I feed him the chocolate bar. Photo by @riteshuttamchandani.
