Rescue efforts are continuing in Nepal with further aid arriving from Britain as authorities confirm the death toll from the disaster has risen to more than 6,200 people.
The National Emergency Operations Centre said 6,204 people have been confirmed dead from the worst earthquake to strike the country in 80 years.
A further 13,932 people were injured in Saturday's 7.8-magnitude quake.
Three Royal Air Force CH47 Chinook helicopters will travel from RAF Brize Norton to Nepal over the next few days.
They will bolster the aid efforts currently under way from a C-17 aircraft which arrived on Thursday carrying a team of Gurkha engineers and 18 tonnes of supplies.
The UK will also contribute £2.5m to the UN's Humanitarian Air Service to increase helicopter capacity and allow aid supplies to reach isolated areas.
Britain initially pledged £15m to the aid relief effort, while more than £19m was raised in public donations by the Disasters Emergency Committee a day after it was launched.
The ongoing relief effort comes as concerns are raised about residents in towns and villages across the worst-affected districts of Nepal.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said some communities have suffered almost total devastation.
"One of our teams that returned from Chautara in Sindupalchowk district reported that 90% of the homes are destroyed," said Jagan Chapagain, Asia Pacific director with the IFRC.
