The above video was shot via drone on Sunday, when the estimated death toll in Nepal was climbing above the 3000 mark.

Things haven't gotten much better over the last few days.

From CNN:

More than 4,600 people dead. Over 9,000 injured. Eight million affected across Nepal. One million children urgently in need of help.

 

Those are the startling numbers that indicate the scale of the devastation from the huge earthquake that struck the Himalayan nation on Saturday.

 

And some of the grim figures are likely to get even worse as hopes of rescuing any more survivors diminish every hour.

 

Relief efforts are continuing, but are being hampered by the difficulties of getting aid into the country, and in turn, delivering it to remote (and, in some cases) unreachable areas.

Large encampments of tents have sprung up in open areas, including a wide space belonging to the military in the center of the city that is typically used for parades. One of the grand gates to the field is now just a pile of rubble.

The elements showed no mercy to the homeless masses on Tuesday as thunderstorms rumbled over Kathmandu -- and more bad weather is forecast for the region in the coming days.
