Earlier in the day Nepal 1 reported 3,700 dead and thousands of others injured in the 7.9-magnitude quake that occurred on Saturday.
The 7.8 magnitude quake occurred Saturday morning around 51 miles northwest of Kathmandu, causing extreme massive damage in the region. The disaster triggered avalanches on Mount Everest, as well as tremors and resulted in casualties in neighbouring areas of India, Bangladesh and China. More than 6.6 million people reside in areas affected by the earthquake, according to the United Nations.
Several countries have offered assistance to Nepal following the natural disaster. India already sent several rescue teams to the affected region. The Russian emergencies ministry stated earlier Sunday that it would send teams of rescuers, doctors and psychologists to the earthquake-stricken country.
