The UAE expressed its sincere condolences and solidarity with Nepal over the victims of the earthquake that struck the west of the country, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its sincere condolences to the government and people of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal.
It also extended its condolences to the families of the victims of this tragedy, while wishing for a speedy recovery of all those injured.
The 6.4 magnitude quake is reported to have taken the lives of at least 140 people, with the death toll expected to rise as rescuers look for victims under the rubble.
The quake, which hit when many people already were asleep in their homes, was felt in India’s capital, New Delhi, more than 800 kilometres away.
Earthquakes are common in mountainous Nepal. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015 killed some 9,000 people and damaged about 1 million structures.
