The United Nations said Wednesday that it was beginning to provide food and medicine around the town of Ghorkha, Nepal. That area was the epicenter of the powerful earthquake that shook the country Saturday.

Rescue workers continue to search the ruins left by the magnitude-7.8 quake. Tuesday night, a French team pulled a man from his collapsed home in the capital, Kathmandu. He had been trapped for more than 80 hours.

More than 5,000 people died in Saturday’s earthquake.
