Preview

Rescue teams and aid workers from around the world are arriving in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. Many reached Kathmandu on Monday -- two days after a powerful earthquake struck the country. The quake killed more than 4,000 people. Several thousand others were hurt. Experts believe those numbers will increase when crews reach rural areas.

Landslides and wreckage are said to be blocking aid from reaching communities outside the capital. Communications links are down in some areas.

The United States Geological Survey says it expects moderate earthquakes in the area this week.

On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States is providing an additional nine million dollars in aid for Nepal.

The U.S. Agency for International Development said the money will be used for immediate assistance, including search and rescue efforts. It said the money will also help pay for emergency shelter, clean water and waste removal efforts.
