Rescue team from China pulls its first survivor from rubble

Members of China's International Rescue Team pulled a trapped teenager out of the rubble of a collapsed building in Kathmandu on Sunday evening after almost four hours of work.

The 16-year-old boy was the first to be saved by the Chinese rescuers. The 62-strong team arrived in the Nepalese capital at noon, making it the first heavy international rescue team to reach the country since the massive earthquake on Saturday.

The 40 rescuers, 10 medical workers and 12 seismic experts started work immediately after landing, following a five-hour flight. The team has six sniffer dogs and emergency relief equipment, including power generators, tents and blankets.
