Nepal earthquake: Govt. rules out finding more survivors
The government, which earlier said the death toll could reach 10,000, put the figure at 6621 on Saturday.
Nepal Home Minister spokesperson Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told a foreign news agency that "it has already been one week since the disaster, we are trying our best in rescue and relief work but now I don't think that there is any possibility of survivors under the rubble."
Earlier, in a miraculous story on Friday, a woman was rescued alive from under the rubble of devastated houses at Gongabu buspark area in Nepal capital Kathmandu after 128 hours since the earthquake rocked the country.
Nepal was hit by an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter Scale on April 25.
