The authorities in Nepal say more than 3,500 people are now known to have died in Saturday's catastrophic earthquake. But as rescuers reached the more remote areas, it's feared the figure could rise further. With more aftershocks, many frightened residents of the capital opted to spend Sunday night in vast tented settlements. Sanjoy Majumder is in Katmandu.“Even in the smarter neighbourhoods, there are people who set out little carpets or brought their mattresses out in front of their homes and have been staying there through the day, through the night. If you walk into the market areas, you can see people sitting on the kerb. All people are just walking around. It looks as almost nobody in the city is indoors at any given moment. Now what the authorities are getting very concerned about is the lack of clean drinking water. In a couple of towns that I'd visited, I'd seen water tankers drive up and long queues of people waiting patiently for fill-up little jerry cans of water. Here, the government is asking the international community to try and send water along with tents at the earliest.”
尼泊尔政府表示星期六发生的灾难性的地震已导致超过3,500人死亡。不过随着搜救人员进入更偏远的地区，死亡人数可能还会继续上升。由于害怕余震，首都的居民在外搭起广阔的帐篷地。下面是Sanjoy Majumder从加德满都发来的报道：“即便是在教育程度高的地区，人们也在外铺上了小地毯，或把家里的床垫拿到房子前，白天夜晚都呆在外面。如果你走到市场，你可看见人们坐在路边。所有的人到处走动，看起来在城里任何时候没有人呆在屋里。现在，当局正担心缺乏干净可饮用水的问题。在我访问的一些镇里，我看见大批水车驶进，人们排着长长的队耐心地等待用油桶接水。现在，政府正在号召国际社会尽早提供水资源的援助。”

People in hundreds of remote hillside communities are thought to have been left homeless, but help is still to reach them. The aid agency, Plan Asia, has managed to go into some of these communities. Syandra Keyasta, their Programme Unit Manager, is in Bangalore, 270 kilometres west of Katmandu. He told the BBC the Red Cross has been providing accommodation and medical supplies.“They are obtaining some tents and some medicine as well, because they are staying outside their home and they are preparing to provide them temporary shelter. The problem of this area is damage of their houses and a school building. And some of the areas is very remote. It takes more than 3 hours, 4 hours on walking. There is no road or facilities even people did not stuck on so, because it lies in the western hill of Nepal.”
有数百名住在在偏僻山坡上的人们被认为已经无家可归，不过目前还没有任何援助抵达他们。援助机构Plan Asia，已抵达其中一些村庄。项目部经理Syandra Keyasta在加德满都西部270公里的Bangalore。他告诉BBC，红十字已经开始提供住房和医疗援助：“他们也正在接收一些帐篷和一些药物，因为他们一直呆在屋外，他们也正在准备给他们自己建造临时住所。这个地区的问题是他们房子受到损坏，还有一个学校也受到损坏。还有一些地区实在是偏僻，要花3到4个小时走路才能到达。这里没有公路和其他设施，即便是地震前，因为这里处在尼泊尔的西坡。”

The Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, says he's written to the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, asking for mercy for two Australians due to be executed in the next a few days. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran had been informed by the Indonesian authorities that they could face the firing squad as early as Tuesday. From Sydney, Jon Donnison.“The two Australians were convicted in 2006 of leading a gang trying to smuggle 8 kilos of heroin out of Indonesia. They were among 8 foreigners, including nationals from Brazil, Nigeria and the Philippines, who were officially informed over the weekend that they would be executed imminently. On Sunday, the Australians were allowed a visit from their brothers, who've also pleaded for their relatives to be spared.”

A new study has found that 2/3 of the world's population have no access to safe and affordable surgery. The research published in the Lancet found that many in low & middle-income countries are dying from easily treatable conditions. Here is our health reporter, Tulip Mazumdar.“Five billion people can't get proper surgical care according to this report. Around a quarter of those who do manage to have a procedure are driven into poverty as a result of the expense. International experts spent a year and a half gathering testimony from health officials, hospital staff and patients in more than a hundred countries. They say a third of all deaths in 2010 were from conditions that were treatable with surgery. That's more than the number of deaths from HIV Aids, TB and malaria combined.”
