It was terrible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The death toll, according to CBC news now stands at over 4,000. There are reports of shortages of critical supplies shush as food, water, shelter, medicine and aid workers. There are reports of villages where as much as 70% of moves being destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s magnitude 7.8 earthquake spread from Kathmandu to small villages and to the slopes of Mount Everest, triggering an avalanche that buried parts of the base camp packed with foreign climbers preparing to make their summit attempts.<\/p>\n<p>All mountaineering on the Chinese side of Everest has now been cancelled in the wake of the quake. China&#8217;s official Xinhua News Agency quoted an official with the Tibetan bureau of sports as saying that an avalanche at 7,000 metres and the possibility of further aftershocks was considered to have made climbing too dangerous. There was no word on when the ban would be lifted.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/world\/nepal-earthquake-death-toll-rises-to-over-4-000-1.3049863\">CBC
