While a 101-year-old-man was pulled out of the rubble that had been his house a week after the earthquake, any other survivors are unlikely.
The current death toll is above 7,000 with more than twice as many people injured. There are still about 100 foreigners listed as missing by their embassies, and there have been an average of 10 aftershocks per day.
The airport at Kathmandu has had to close its single runway to big jet aircraft because it wasn’t designed to handle the weight of the fully-loaded military transports that have been landing there to off load supplies and is being damaged.
US Marines supported by CV-22 Osprey aircraft have arrived in Nepal which should provide more cargo capacity to supply remote areas.
Update: The police notified the media that the old man was found in his garden, not the rubble of his house.
