An online application promising to aid the search and rescue efforts in earthquake-ravaged Nepal has been launched. 'Help Nepal' allows users to share information about their current situation, safety and other issues through the app which was developed by Sagoon, a social platform located in Washington DC and New Delhi.
"This app provides whereabouts of users, their family and friends. It helps the Nepali community across the globe to communicate with each other while stranded tourists, unable to reach out to their family and friends can also use it," it said.

Users can also ask and give any information about relief efforts in messages, photos and videos.

"We are providing dry food packages, water, blankets, flashlights and batteries to charge cell phones," he said.
