A deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook Nepal on Saturday, causing extensive destruction and loss of life.

As many as 2,500 people are dead. As rescue teams work around the clock, pulling more victims from the rubble, that number is expected to rise.

Meanwhile, doctors and volunteer medical staff have worked to treat the injured at local hospitals and makeshift clinics. On Mount Everest, where the earthquake caused a massive avalanche, search teams are working to rescue and treat survivors. At least 17 people have died on the mountain.
