China's search and rescue team successfully pulled another quake survivor out of the debris in Nepal's capital Kathmandu on Tuesday as international aid groups race against time to save more people after the weekend's devastating earthquake.
After 34-hour rescue work, members of China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) found a Nepali man under a load-bearing wall at the bottom of a 7-storey collapsed building and lifted him out to safety.
The 21-year-old became the second survivor to be rescued by the Chinese rescuers, following a 16-year-old Nepali boy 30 hours ago on Sunday evening.
The 62-strong team, composed of 40 rescuers, 10 medical workers and 12 seismic experts, arrived Sunday noon in the Nepalese capital, making it the first heavy international rescue team to have reached Nepal since the country was struck by the 8.1 magnitude massive earthquake Saturday.
