Man, 101, Found Alive After Nepal Quake.....

*Funchu Tamang*  is pulled from under his home a day after the Nepal government rules out finding more survivors.
Funchu Tamang was rescued on Saturday and is now in hospital in the Nuwakot district, north-west of Kathmandu, with only minor injuries, police official Arun Kumar Singh said.

The death toll left by last weekend's devastating earthquake now stands at over 7,000 and is expected to rise further as rescue teams from  more than  20  countries  work  through  the  rubble.

He said: "He was brought to the district hospital in a helicopter. His condition is stable.

"He has injuries on his left ankle and hand. His family is with him."

Several others were also found alive, including three women who were rescued from rubble in Sindupalchowk - one of the districts which was hit worst by the quake.

One had been buried by a landslide, with the other two were underneath a collapsed building.

Nepal's government had ruled out finding any more survivors in Kathmandu on Saturday.

The death toll left by last weekend's devastating earthquake now stands at over 7,000 and is expected to rise further as rescue teams from more than 20 countries work through the rubble.

More than 100 people were also killed in India and China.

Police in Nepal say at least 109 foreigners are still missing, with a further 57, including British dual national Hemchandra Rai, confirmed dead.
