libyan coast where a majority of boats attempting to reach europe start their journey a magnitude 6.7 aftershock hits nepal's capital kathmandu. more than 2,000 have been killed after the earthquake that hit nepal and neighbouring countries. we'll be lie in kathmandu, and the indian capital. first, this report. >> they are frightened because the ground shook again this morning. aftershocks adding to the trauma that's barely registering. overnight many people chose not to go home. unable to sleep, and uncertain of when the next jolt will hit. >> translation: on radio they

said another quake could hit, that is why we are all outside, and will spend the night here there are some that lost friend or families, certainly their homes. they have a famous proverb that captures the group. they are in the mind. it's in the mind of those who win or lose. >> to combat the fear, we are playing guitar. women, children and elderly are scared. we play the guitar to make them feel safe. >> in other parts, rescuers are aware that there are people alive under the rubble. they work patiently and precisely. for families looking on, it's painstaking. every so often though there's hope.

there are people in nepal's remote areas that have no help at all. only once they are reached would we know how big a catastrophe would this become let's talk to sab ina shrestha. reports of aftershocks. tell us what has been happening. >> there has been aftershocks the entire night and the whole day. the last one we had was awful. it was 7 on the rictor scale. the ground shook like jelly. we were panicking. everyone has been panicking since then. we walked around the areas with people have been taking refuge. if they see people exhausted and afraid of the next quake.

>> as you say you know, people terrified of more after shocks. how are people coping many are sleeping in the open aren't they? people are sleeping in the open. we went to the area where a lot of people are staying. they are angry because they don't have any footed or water, no shelter. a lot of them have shelter, but should is rain, it will not help. they want tarp. they want people selling the water for three times the amount, and they want the government to step in. what about the hospitals. there were reports that they

were overwhelmed with those injured. hospitals are struggling and are treating people outside. we heard about 200 bodies lining up to be cremated. and from the town where there has been a lot of devastation that hospitals and creme toriums are struggling. >> sabine ashrestha. sabine was telling us about the aftershocks in kathmandu. we under you had some yourself. >> we had this afternoon and in

areas north of nepal, where we saw some of the strong aftermath on the indian side. i should say as well in terms of india and what is happening here a high level meeting was convened. chaired by narendra modi, and we somehow hear what india's response will be in terms of relief effort. we'll be waiting to hear how big the relief effort will get on india's part and what will be the specifics that we didn't hear about on saturday. but given what we see unfolding in nepal, perhaps we'll hear more of that this afternoon. >> one of the problems is we are hearing that the kathmandu airport was closed. i don't know if it's still closed, but it will impact on the rescue effort.

clooutly. we have been monitoring the airport. from what we understand it it has been open after the closure owing to the after shock. but what will leave india are relieved goods, blanket and water and national disaster relief teams. the opening or the sustained operation of that airport is what is seen as essential on the indian side. it's an open border. but the road conditions are un unaffairable let alone when you want to get aid through. the air will be the best and

most convenient way to build that effort. apart from the after shocks of today, there has been an impact. talk us through the areas hit and what the impact has been. >> you are looking at the northern belt all the way through. all the way through to west bengal and here in the capital, which is a long way away from the epicentre. in term of deaths more than 50 deaths confirmed as a result of the earthquake. injuries over 200. authorities maintained that they expect the number to rise. that is on ongoing process in india. i should update you on something that the government is talking to the national government about, and that is running a bus service to nepal, to bring people back who may need help

and assistance or may want to return home. that is something we are watching closely, and what is a secondary service that the indian government is looking to offer. >> thank you now, there has been more saudi-led air strikes in yemen, with the latest round targetting a military strike and around the palace in sanaa. fighting continues between the houthi rebels and president abd-rabbu mansour hadi. >> this is the center of yemen. it's an oil-rich province east of the capital, which the houthis took over last year. both sides want control of the area. >> translation: we are on the entrance to the city. what we say about the houthi preps is not true. we will send them away. >> reporter: fighting has been

raging for days. control of the province would see that houthis are a strong hold which is in the north. outside the strong hold. gun battles continue. twine between houthis, and forces loyal to abd-rabbu mansour hadi. warships are in an area near the port. five air strikes hit the military side and the area near the presidential palace. in the south, 30 houthi fighters were killed when the truck was attacked. in yemen, the battle seems endless hakim al-masmari the

radars. 25 years, this person was one of them. >> the man steering the boat was like me. he was scared and that's why he ran away. he told us he knew what he was doing. it seems not. >> the coast guards noticed an emerging pattern. >> in the past they were big boats that carried hundreds. now they put them in rafts, they train two or three on how to use the engine and show the direction to follow on a compass, and off they go. >> the summer sees many trying to take a journey, most will sail into high sees undetected by coast guard time for a break here on al jazeera. when we come back... >> i'm in astana kazakhstan for a presidential election. will it be democracy or theatre.
