Duo who was stranded at the base camp of MT Everest turn down evacuation to volunteer, narrate their experience

Samir Patham and Sauraj Jhingan
Sauraj: The earthquake had destroyed 70 per cent of the base camp. There were roughly 700 people of which 22 people lost their lives and 60 of them were severely injured. Hence, they had to be air lifted. After the disaster, there was complete destruction everywhere. My companion Samir Patham and I started providing first aid to the people and waved out to the helicopters to airlift the ones who had suffered severe back and head injuries and fractures.
