One video from Kathmandu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gE0UnyA2kI
Regarding to https:
https://www.mapbox.com/blog/nepal-earthquake-imagery-0427/ they have a new URL for Kathmandu-pictures from 27.04.2015:
To use this imagery, add the following URL to your OpenStreetMap editor. For the web editor, iD, add the URL via “background settings”; for the desktop editor, JOSM, add the URL via imagery preferences.

Новые тайлы от мапбокса для Катманду (о чём написано выше):

Что-то не удается использовать. При подложке с этим адресом JOSM сильно грузит, а картинки так и не показывает… (TMS)
I see around Kathmandu city a lot of missing buildings.
We can use normal Bing background for that.
Mostly the buildings are singular and good visible in Bing.
Edit:
I see task from HOT for this problem:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/190
We are now 2222 mappers they do or did something in Nepal.
In Haiti earthquake disaster some years before: 700 mappers.
Please, don´t stop. They need our help.
