A Pakistan Army urban search and rescue team was also involved in conducting rescue operations day and night.

Last week, Under-Secretary-General Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos and European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides visited the Bhaktapur Pakistan Army field hospital and praised the field camp, and the army's rescue and relief efforts by army personnel.

One week on from Nepal's deadliest quake in over 80 years, hope of finding any more survivors has diminished. Over 6,621 were killed and 14,023 injured in the 7.9 magnitude earthquake.

While multiple teams of rescuers from more than 20 countries have been using sniffer dogs and heat-seeking equipment to find survivors in the rubble, no one has been pulled alive since Thursday evening.

That was the one of the largest rescue under takings by any Army anywhere in the world. Army did a fantastic job, given the level of death and destruction. Entire cities cut off and wiped out. More than 80,000 people died. AirForce, Navy, Army all chipped in.

I remember that quake and it was several days before they got there. it was a scout group from islamabad who went up there. Dont forget, Cubans were the biggest contributors close to 8000 medical personnel - they put people where it mattered the most. The response was definitely very delayed there.
