Nepal deploys thousands, India sends aid

Nepal has deployed thousands of army personnel and security forces, airlifting heavy machinery to remote sites for tunnel searches.

India is helping out too, sending relief materials and a specialized rescue team.

While hundreds have been saved from stranded sites, many remain trapped or missing as challenging conditions slow progress.
