Hope no one was climbing Everest at the time
On a serious note, this is rather tragic
The US is sending a disaster response team and has released an initial $1m (£0.7m) according to the US aid agency USAid
India has sent several aircraft, carrying medical supplies and a mobile hospital, as well as a 40-strong disaster response team, including rescuers with dogs
The UK is sending an eight-strong team of humanitarian experts
Pakistan is sending four C-130 aircraft carrying a 30-bed field hospital and army doctors and specialists; urban search-and-rescue teams equipped with radars and sniffer dogs; and food items, including 2,000 meals, 200 tents and 600 blankets
Norway has promised 30 million krone (£2.5m; $3.9m) in humanitarian assistance
Germany, Spain, France, Israel and the European Union are also pledging to send aid
Some were...they were killed in an avalanche.
Terrible news. I find the fact we are only offering to send 8 people to help an absolute disgrace.
Rescue efforts in Nepal are intensifying after nearly 2,000 people were killed in the country's worst earthquake in more than 80 years.
Many countries and international charities have offered aid to Nepal to deal with the disaster.
Seventeen people have been killed on Mount Everest by avalanches - the mountain's worst-ever disaster.
The death toll could rise, as the situation is unclear in remote areas which remain cut off or hard to access.
Many mountain roads are cracked or blocked by landslides.
Depends, sending the vital few can be more important and valuable than any other resource.
