Hundreds of people have been killed after a
magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck Nepal causing
extensive damage in the capital Kathmandu.
At least 758 have been confirmed dead across
the country following the strongest quake to hit
Nepal in 80 years, according government
officials.
The quake toppled Kathmandu's iconic nine-
storey Dharahara tower, with rescuers left
scrambling to reach some 50 people reported to
have been trapped under the rubble.
Earlier police removed around a dozen bodies
from the 19th Century UNESCO-recognised
monument, also known as the Bhimsen Tower.
Tremors were also felt in neighbouring India, with
34 people, including a 15-year-old girl, reported
to have been killed in the north of the country.

The quake also triggered a "huge avalanche" on
Mount Everest, leaving at least ten climbers
dead.
Mountaineer Alex Gavan tweeted from Mount
Pumori: "Everest base camp huge earthquake
then huge avalanche from pumori.
"Running for life from my tent. Unhurt. Many
many people up the mountain."
Another climber, Daniel Mazur, said Everest base
camp had been "severely damaged" and his team
was trapped.
The quake struck 80km (50 miles) east of the
central city of Pokhara shortly before noon local
time and was followed by a magnitude 6.6
aftershock, with tremors felt for hours
afterwards. It was relatively shallow, making it
more powerful.
Little is yet known about the extent of damage
to Pokhara, but in the densely-populated city of
Kathmandu hospitals are struggling to cope.
Televised images from outside the city's main
hospital show the injured being forced to wait
outside on the street for treatment.
