BOY RESCUED FROM NEPAL RUBBLE

A teenaged boy has been rescued alive from rubble in Kathmandu, five days after an earthquake struck Nepal.

Some survivors in rural regions still haven't received any aid, however, after Saturday's quake.

The United Nations says it needs $415m for emergency relief in the next three months.

The official death toll from the earthquake stands over 5500, and the UN says 70 000 homes have been destroyed.

Ben Setton is country director in Nepal for the Adam Smith International group and says thousands of people are too scared to return to their homes.
