China's International Search and Rescue Team returned to Beijing on Friday after completing its work in Nepal following the magnitude-7.9 earthquake that struck the country.

The 62-member rescue team, consisting of experienced seismologists, rescue members and doctors and nurses, was dispatched by the Chinese government after the April 25 quake. They arrived in Kathmandu the following morning with six rescue dogs and 17 tons of rescue and medical equipment.

The earthquake and a string of aftershocks killed more than 7,600 people and injured more than 15,000, according to Nepal's Home Ministry.
