At least 50 people are dead following another major earthquake in Nepal.

The 7.3 magnitude quake struck late yesterday afternoon.

It's been followed by at least a dozen aftershocks over magnitude-5.

"I felt really scared this time, after so many days I felt there was earthquake (aftershocks) of 4 to 5 (Richter scale) but I didn't actually feel it, so this time it was very big and I was afraid that what happened to my house or something, hope nothing has happened to my house, and so I just ran here. I was very scared at that time."

Chinese crews already on the ground in Nepal helping with relief efforts from last month's quake are moving to try to cope with the new disaster.

"Since there have been some more damaged houses and dead people, we need to get the latest information, about the damage done to the infrastructure facilities including to the drinking water supply. We need to update our rescue plan."

At least one person has been killed on the Chinese side of the border.

The quake, being viewed at this point as an aftershock from last month's earthquake, hit just 10-kilometers from the border with China.

The earthquake has also left a dozen people dead in neighboring India.
