Up Death Nepal Earthquake

Military helicopters flew over eastern Nepal and a team sent up a drone on Thursday to search for a missing US Marines Huey chopper, as the death toll rose from the Himalayan country's second big earthquake in less than three weeks.

Two people have died in India after a powerful earthquake rocked neighbouring Nepal on Tuesday, state officials said.

Bureaucracy at Kathmandu airport was holding up vital relief supplies for survivors of the earthquake in Nepal on Saturday as the death toll from the disaster passed 6,600.

Some of the relief material for survivors of Nepal's devastating earthquake was being held up at the country's only international airport because of customs bottlenecks, the United Nations said today, as the death toll from the disaster passed 6,600.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday called up Prime Minister Narendra Modi to condole the deaths in the earthquake-hit areas of India and also appreciated India's relief and rescue efforts in Nepal.

As the number of deaths in Saturday's earthquake climb to 72 in India, India's relief efforts in Nepal, where over 4,000 people have died, have been stepped up. But though medical teams and relief material is flowing into Kathmandu, aircraft are encountering difficulty landing into the congested Tribhuban airport.
