Rishi Khanal told The Associated Press that he had given up all hope of rescue as his lips cracked and his nails turned white. There were dead bodies around him and a terrible smell.

The rescuers then carefully removed the rubble only to find the dust-covered baby boy under the debris.

Rescue workers and soldiers initially missed the baby as they searched through the debris desperately for survivors of the quake, Kathmandu Today newspaper reported today.

In a miracle, a four-month-old baby was pulled out alive by rescue workers from the rubble of a collapsed building in Bhaktapur town, at least 22 hours after the devastating temblor that struck Nepal.

Rana said he understood how many people "would be angry" about the government's response, stressing that the army was working with the police to "identify local hot spots and control things (politically)." - PTI

"There is unrest, and we are watching it. Yes, there is the threat of an epidemic, and we are watching it," he said.

Rana acknowledged that the massive temblor left officials struggling to cope with the aftermath — including the risk of disease and growing public anger at the pace of the rescue effort.

Nepal Army chief General Gaurav Rana, who is leading the nationwide rescue effort, told NBC News, "Our estimates are not looking good. We are thinking that 10,000 to 15,000 may be killed."

Hopes of finding more survivors while relief operations were hit due to rains and tremors measuring between 3.9 and 4.7 on the Richter Scale.

While three fresh aftershocks kept people on edge, Nepal's Army chief feared that the death toll in the quake could be as high as 15,000.

Indian doctors from the medical team sent to Nepal found the food packets that were labeled ‘beef masala’.

Pakistan sparked controversy when some of the food packets it had sent as relief material to Nepal reportedly contained beef. Nepal, being a predominantly Hindu country, has banned cow slaughter.

Since the 25 April earthquake, 4,050 rescue workers from 34 different nations have flown to Nepal to help in rescue operations, provide emergency medical care and distribute food and other necessities.

Information Minister Minendra Rijal said the major rescue work in Kathmandu and surrounding areas have been completed and that the remaining operations can be handled by local workers. However, work remained in the villages and remote mountain areas and foreign aid volunteers could work with local police and army rescuers in those areas, he said.

Nepal's government urged foreign rescue workers in the quake-hit capital to return home on Monday as hundreds of people visited Buddhist shrines and monasteries to mark the birthday of Gautam Buddha.

"We don't need further support," CNN-IBN quoted Nepal PMO as saying. Nepal government was reportedly upset with the publicity given to India in the relief operations, sources told CNN-IBN.

According to TV reports, the Nepal government has told the NDRF in the country to wind up its relief and rescue operations and return to India.

"No team of NDRF has been withdrawn from Nepal. All 16 teams are there," Singh said, adding that he was still waiting for an official statement to be made by the Nepal government.

"This is not India-specific. This is meant for all the foreign search and rescue teams have been asked to leave because their work is almost over," Singh told CNN-IBN.

NDRF DG OP Singh rejected reports of the Nepal government being upset with India and said that it was not just the NDRF but all foreign search and rescue teams which were being withdrawn from Nepal.
