Nepal was hit by a massive 7.9-magnitude earthquake Saturday, killing more than 6,000 people so far, injuring more than 10,000 others.Hospitals across the impoverished nation of 28 million people struggled to cope with the dead and injured from Nepal’s worst quake in 81 years, and a lack of equipment meant rescuers could look no deeper than surface rubble for signs of life.

Soldiers searched through the wreckage of a collapsed house until midnight on Sunday but were unable to free the child, according to the newspaper. He was only found when they returned and heard a faint cry from beneath the ruins of the building, leading them to search the entire area again. A home ministry official said the 6,134 fatalities had been confirmed, with 13,906 injured. The head of the European Union delegation in Nepal said 1,000 people from the EU are missing and 12 are confirmed dead.
