A 5.0 magnitude earthquake occured near Pokhara, Nepal, on Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Thousands of people are still missing in Nepal as food and help began to trickle through to those stranded in remote areas after last week's earthquake which killed 6,250.

The death toll could rise further. Bodies are still being pulled from the debris of ruined buildings, while rescue workers have not been able to reach some remote areas.

The government put the number of injured at more than 14,350.

In Kathmandu, many unclaimed bodies were being quickly cremated because of the need to avert disease and reduce the stench of corpses in areas where buildings had collapsed.
