A 101-year-old man has been pulled alive from the rubble of his home more than a week after the earthquake in Nepal.
Funchu Tamang was rescued on Saturday and is now in hospital in the Nuwakot district, north-west of Kathmandu, with only minor injuries, police official Arun Kumar Singh said.
He said: "He was brought to the district hospital in a helicopter. His condition is stable.
"He has injuries on his left ankle and hand. His family is with him."
Several others were also found alive, including three women who were rescued from rubble in Sindupalchowk - one of the districts which was hit worst by the quake.
