The official death toll climbed overnight, as rescuers are struggling to reach remote villages. There are also scores trapped, and many feared dead, from an avalanche on Mt. Everest triggered by the quake. The latest estimates by Nepal police fear more than 3,600 have died in the disaster that also left 6,525 wounded.
