Search for survivors in western Nepal after earthquake kills at least 157 people

Rescue workers reach area near epicentre of 5.8-magnitude quake in Karnali province in country's worst earthquake since 2015

Rescue workers in Nepal began digging through the rubble of collapsed houses with their bare hands on Saturday, searching for survivors after the country's worst earthquake in eight years killed 157 people and shook buildings as far away as Delhi.

The 5.6-magnitude quake hit the far west of the Himalayan country late on Friday and was measured by the US Geological Survey at just 18km (11 miles) deep.
