Summary This was the second consignment of relief goods from Pakistan to Nepal.
KATHMANDU (Web Desk / Reuters) - Two C-130 aircraft carrying relief goods for the quake victims of Nepal arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday, the Radio Pakistan reported.
This was the second consignment of relief goods from Pakistan to Nepal. The relief goods included ration and medicines.
Special equipment used in search operation as well as teams of engineers and medical staff have also been sent to the quake affected country.
Other countries involved in aid efforts are UAE, Israel, the US and members of the European Union. They have sent or pledged money or supplies - including medicines, a mobile hospital and rescue teams.
The death toll from Nepal s devastating earthquake could reach 10,000, the Nepal s prime minister said on Tuesday, as residents frustrated by the government s slow response used their bare hands to dig for signs of their loved ones.
"The government is doing all it can for rescue and relief on a war footing," Prime Minister Sushil Koirala told Reuters. "It is a challenge and a very difficult hour for Nepal."
International aid has finally begun arriving in the Himalayan nation of 28 million people, three days after Saturday s 7.9 magnitude quake, but disbursement is slow. According to the home (interior) ministry, the confirmed death toll stands at 4,349, with more than 7,000 injured.
"The death toll could go up to 10,000 because information from remote villages hit by the earthquake is yet to come in," Koirala said.
