The Nepalese government says the death toll1 from Saturday's earthquake is now close to 4-thousand.

The 72-hour so-called "golden window" to rescue possible survivors2 is now fading.

Damaged roads, broken communication lines and landslides3, as well as a lack of earth-moving equipment in rural areas is making relief efforts much more difficult.

More than 1.4-million people in Nepal have been displaced by the massive quake and its subsequent aftershocks.

The Chinese government is set to dispatch another search and rescue team into Nepal later on today.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry4 spokesperson says the crews will join the 55 other PLA members who arrived in Kathmandu yesterday.

The death toll in southwest China's Tibet from Saturday's earthquake in neighboring Nepal has risen to 25.

Close to 120 others have been injured.

The counties of Gyirong, Nyalam and Tingri were most affected5, which have seen nearly 80 percent of the houses collapse6.

Local officials are warning the number of casualties is likely to increase.

In the cut-off border town of Zham, food stocks will likely only last three days.

Aftershocks and bad weather have been hindering relief efforts.
