Authorities report Nepal death toll ranging roughly 165 to 273, with missing numbers varying by agency and foreigners accounting for a large share of those affected. Rescue efforts continue with helicopters, thousands of troops, police and disaster-response teams, as critical infrastructure including bridges, roads and power networks are damaged. International aid appeals are underway, with governments, agencies and volunteers coordinating evacuations for stranded pilgrims and tourists.
