Nepali military stand around the bodies of three people believed to have died while trekking, at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. A major earthquake hit Kathmandu mid-day on Saturday, April 25th, and was followed by multiple aftershocks that triggered avalanches on Mt. Everest that buried mountain climbers in their base camps. Many houses, buildings and temples in the capital were destroyed during the earthquake, leaving over 6000 dead and many more trapped under the debris as emergency rescue workers attempt to clear debris and find survivors. Regular aftershocks have hampered recovery missions as locals, officials and aid workers attempt to recover bodies from the rubble.
