Rescuers race against time to save survivors

With the golden 72 hours for rescue running out, Chinese search and rescue teams raced against time on Tuesday to save more people from the earthquake debris in Nepal.

The death toll from the devastating earthquake has risen to 5,057, the country's Home Ministry said on Tuesday.

After a 34-hour battle against twisted reinforced concrete and the aftershocks that followed the magnitude-7.9 earthquake, which struck on Saturday, members of the China International Search and Rescue Team dug out another survivor from the rubble in Nepal's capital of Kathmandu early on Tuesday morning.
