The United Nations has urged Nepal to relax customs controls - which it says are holding up deliveries of aid to survivors of last week's earthquake.
Many people are yet to receive the aid, which is piling up at Kathmandu airport, a week after the 7.8-magnitude quake.
The number of dead from last weekend's devastating earthquake has risen to 7-thousand, but aid agencies are still struggling to reach remote parts of the mountainous country.
Ertharin Cousin from the World Food Programme says helicopters are needed to distribute supplies.
