Nepal Quake: 1,000 EU Citizens Still Unaccounted For, Says Envoy.

Officials are struggling to locate 1,000 EU citizens who remain unaccounted for in Nepal, nearly a week after an earthquake that

killed more than 6,000 people.
An EU official said most are thought to have been trekking near Mount Everest or in the remote Langtang mountains.
Many are hoped to be alive in isolated areas cut off by the quake.
Nepal has called for more foreign help, particularly aircraft, as survivors grow desperate for humanitarian aid.
Nepalese authorities say the death toll from Saturday's 7.8-magnitude quake could rise to 10,000, with uncertainty still surrounding the fate of thousands of people in remote mountain communities.
Nearly 14,000 people were injured in the disaster. Relief and rescue teams have reached most areas but many people remain in urgent need.
