The roads leading to the remote mountain villages in Gorkha district were cut off by landslides and soldiers had been working to remove the debris to enable much needed access to thousands of people.So far, only a limited number of helicopters had managed to reach the areas to drop off some aid and airlift the most injured to Gorkha town’s public hospital, where teams of international medical workers were on standby to help.As they landed, the young and old were stretchered off. A baby was carried in the arms of a soldier away from the makeshift helipad and a girl around six years old was carried to a stretcher, followed by an elderly man.
