Hundreds gathered in Lower Manhattan to remember the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal one year ago tomorrow.
They represented several organizations who want to keep the memory of the nearly 9,000 lives lost in the earthquake alive, and get more help for survivors.
People who experienced the earthquake were among the marchers who walked for about one mile this morning.
"This is for remembrance, for humbleness, to remember the departed souls, who lost their lives in earthquake," said one Nepali marcher.
"Where like all the supplies come in through from India was blocked for like more than five months immediately in the aftermath of the earthquake," said another. "So that hurt the construction immensely. Even today, not all the supplies have been resumed."
Aid groups say roughly 4 million people in Nepal are still living in sub-standard makeshift housing that was built after the quake.
Nepal has so far received a little more than a quarter of the more than $4 billion that were pledged to help the country rebuild.
