Nepal: Woman pulled from wreckage 128 hours after quake

A 24-year-old woman has been pulled out alive from the wreckage of a building in Nepal, 128 hours after a deadly 7.9-magnitude tremblor devastated the Himalayan nation. Krishna Devi Khadka was rescued by a joint team of Nepal Army, police and Israeli rescue team from Janasewa Guest House in Gonggabu village on Thursday, Ekantipur reported.

Khadka was buried under the rubbles of the collapsed guesthouse. She was rescued five days after the deadly earthquake struck the country last Saturday. Khadka is is the latest miracle survivor, after a teenager who was rescued five days after the earthquake.

Rescuers are still struggling to reach remote mountainous areas in the Himalayan nation, where relief efforts have been hampered by heavy rain and landslide even as global help poured in following the quake that has killed nearly 6,200 people and injured at least 14,000. Officials have warned that they faced problems in getting aid into the country and then delivering it to some of the remote communities.
