Rescue Operations Continue Following Devastating Nepal Earthquake

SHIDUPALCHOWK, NEPAL - MAY 01: A Nepalese earthquake victim woman plants rice seedlings in a paddy rice field with her two sons on May 1, 2015 in Shindupalchowk, Nepal. A major 7.8 earthquake hit Kathmandu mid-day on Saturday, 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. (Photo by Buddhika Weerasinghe/Getty Images)
