Nepal Says Most Rescue Work Is Done, Can Be Finished By Locals

Nepal is asking foreign rescuers who came to the country to assist with disaster relief to either help in rural areas or go back home. The announcement was made after a meeting of Nepal's emergency relief committee was held late Sunday, The Associated Press reports. Information Minister Minendra Rijal said that there is no need for international rescuers in Kathmandu and surrounding urban areas, as any work that still needs to be completed can be done by local workers.
