A Nepali-French search and rescue team pulled a 28-year-old man, Rishi Khanal, from a collapsed apartment block in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu on Tuesday and stated that he had no access to water and food during his ordeal in a room with three dead bodies.



The earthquake which hit Nepal on Saturday with a 7.9 magnitude destroyed buildings and killed at least 4,600 people.


Khanal had been on the second floor of a seven-storey building when the quake struck. The top floors were intact and the teams drilled down to him after he shouted for help and responded to questions in Nepali. The rescue operation took five hours and the doctors think that he may have a broken leg.
