Search goes on for Nepal earthquake survivors

The search is still on for survivors after a massive earthquake hit the country of Nepal in South Asia on Saturday.

At least 3,300 people have been confirmed killed in the country's worst earthquake in more than 80 years.

The quake had a magnitude of 7.8 and tremors were felt in nearby Pakistan, Bangladesh and India.

Many countries and charities from around the world have offered help to Nepal to deal with the disaster.

Cities of tents have popped up in Nepal's capital city Kathmandu.

People who are too afraid to return to their homes, or have nowhere to go, are being sheltered there.

"We don't have a choice, our house is shaky," said shopkeeper Rabi Shrestha in an interview with AFP news agency.

Rescue helicopters are heading out to Mount Everest to help 210 stranded climbers down.
