The latest figures are

According to the Nepalese officials 3,326 people have died and more than 6,500 people have been injured. At least 18 people have been killed in avalanches on Mount Everest.

The numbers will increase day by day, we have to accept that. Whatever can be done is being done by an international relief effort.

An earthquake consultant working for the UK government said Nepal was unprepared for an earthquake of this scale. Jon Bennett, from Oxford Development Consultants, had travelled to Nepal two weeks ago on behalf of the UK government to assess how ready the country was for an earthquake.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "We knew, when we were looking at the situation out there, that if there was going to be a very large earthquake like this, the level of the preparedness in the country was nowhere near sufficient to cope with the kind of events that were likely to unfold, as indeed has been the case."

Maybe an accurate scientific assessment. But practically speaking, where was Nepal going to get the money from to prepare? The last time was 80 years ago, how far in the future could the next one have been? How many other places just like Nepal are there in the world today?

Finally an exact number, they don't count the deaths by hundreds anymore..

Hundreds of villages in the central Nepalese district of Gorkha were among the hardest hit by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the country on Saturday. The remote and mountainous region, home to an estimated 270,000 people, is struggling to evacuate survivors.
It could be days before some of the residents are reached by rescue teams. Many villages are on the steep slopes of precarious mountains and hillsides, where there remains a risk of landslides.
Helicopters have been struggling to conduct surveillance flights around these mountains due to heavy cloud cover, which has made it even more difficult for them to land and deliver any aid.

Reinhold Messner says that too many helicopters are used to evacuate the Everest camps while they are badly needed in villages. Climbers should descend by foot if they are not injured.But of course Everest is an income source for Nepal.

28 Belgians are missing, the B-Fast team is stuck in New Delhi due to an overcrowded airport of Kathmandu. The team is specialized in finding survivors between the debris, which gets more and more difficult now, over 4000 deaths atm.

Voorlopig vertrekuur is 14.15 uur. Eerder vertrekken is uitgesloten, gezien de strenge internationale regels rond rusttijden voor piloten. Maar hoe dan ook was lang niet zeker of vroeger opstijgen überhaupt mogelijk zou zijn, verduidelijkt Dimitri De Fre van B-Fast. Minstens zeventien vliegtuigen met noodhulp wachten immers in New Dehli op groen licht.

The B-Fast team can possibly leave for Kathmandu around 2.15pm, there are 17 other rescue teams waiting to get to Kathmandu.
