11:04 am
the outlying areas? do you really know what comprises these numbers? >> there are some many bodies to be recovered. there are aerial images from the epicenter of this quake, which is something like 140 kilometers northwest of the capital. and they are flattened like somebody has just smeared them with paste. they are just completely wiped out. no one knows the true figure yet. all of the time that is being updated. so there is a mood really of gloom, despondency and grief descending on the capital now. many people huddled in small groups trying to shelter from
11:05 am
this rain that's coming in now quite heavily in some parts. some around here but in vast waves of the city there is no light at all. and, of course in the countryside, no one really knows the true picture. after this time since saturday just bid midday when the quake struck there is still a massive amount to be done. at the airport, i went through a few hours ago, masses of aid coming in but by no means enough. only one runway, chaos at the airport. they are trying to sort of triage the size of the planes to get the most equipment and rescue workers in. meanwhile, the position is desperate because the search is people with their bare hands. no mechanicals around to take part in that search just this
11:06 am
desperate situation. in the hospital a really big crisis in terms of the supplies of drugs and, also the space to treat people. you are seeing patients now in the open and, of course with the weather, as i say, closing in this isn't a good situation. also try to communicate with people. it's desperately hard because there is a fear here, a massive fear. you've got to take on board this quake not only took out a big swath of this country but also shook the highest mountain on earth with death in base camp on everest everyone is in shock. no one knows what's going to happen next. >> all right andrew simmons and anna getish. as if it weren't difficult enough the weather. now, more tremors are being felt in india's capital.
11:07 am
nitti us dutt joins us. what's happening from where you are? >> reporter: to give you a quick update in the last few minutes before we have come to you, we have seen reports here in indian media network that the airport in kathmandu has been shut owing to heavy rain. this hampers not only the expertise of particularly doctors, relief workers getting in to kathmandu, many keeping in mind foreigners indian nationals coming from india to nepal for this but, also this hampers that relief getting in to the country. so that's a major line this evening and given the kind of impact that bad weather that the aftershock of this afternoon had on the capitol and surrounding areas. the indian government has this evening said it will be ramping up efforts byroad which means that it will be utilizing the points that it has along the open vast border it shares with
11:08 am
nepal to get much needed aid in as well as well as to get indian nationals and other foreign nationals out of nepal out of safety and into india. >> how difficult is communication still? has there been any progress made on that front? because that is so key to relief efforts that people being able to communicate with their team. >> yeah. absolutely. >> was one key point that the indian government was making quite early on saturday. that's something that's continued to be a talking point here. major telecom companies have slashed the rates of phone calls to nepal not just in terms of communication between the expert people who had the expertise here and those who need it in nepal but also nepalese and indians, there are thousands on either side to help people communicate better. the indian government said on saturday, which work is obviously continuing to make sure all communication lines are restored. they do realize that that's
11:09 am
essential but what's really had a troubling factor at this point in time, the lack of communication is now potentially being hampered by bad weather or compounded by this weather of problem -- of this problem of weather and, also reaching people most in need. >> all right. the clock is ticking. time is of the essence. nitti dutt live in new delhi. india has been leading the international effort in nepal. a former ambassador to nepal explained the difficultics rescue user are facing in getting aid to survivors. >> kathmandu is in a valley which is surrounded by hills. now, most of the city is about from a few major streets, most of the city are small lanes, almost like rabbit warrens most of the buildings are not at all earthquake proof. they are, you know, not even built according to modern dame norms of buildings.
11:10 am
the difficulty is therefore, the difficulty is not about reaching nepal. the difficulty is they will reach nepal from the air point or from other points of collection, to get it out to the people who are vulnerable the women, elderly, the children food water, tents and milk and so on. that's going to be a major problem after, of course the first priority, to save lives. many who are still maybe alive under the rubble and the debris of the earthquake. so that is the very difficult situation you are facing while a number of other countries have offered aid and are providing funds as well as material the relief effort battling this crisis has to be a valiant effort. the effort really started on the indian side right from the cab cabinet level immediately after the earthquake hit nepal. win hours, the indian air force
