A devastating earthquake hit Nepal, causing more than 800 dead, according to photojournalist João Porfírio, who commented on the disaster.

João Porfírio, a professional in photojournalism, made statements about the situation on the ground after the catastrophe that struck the Asian country.

The photojournalist warned about the logistical difficulties faced in the region, stating that there are no roads, bridges, or adequate infrastructure that allow journalists to quickly reach the locations affected by the earthquake.

This situation compromises news coverage work in the disaster area, limiting access of media teams to the areas most in need of information.
