A German rescue organization and the French government said on Sunday they are sending rescue and relief teams to Nepal, where a massive earthquake left more than 2,000 dead. International Search and Rescue Germany said a team of 52 relief workers including doctors, experts trained in searching for people buried under rubble and several dog squads are flying Sunday. The team will bring with them a mobile medical treatment center, AP reported. Spokesman Stefan Heine said the priority was to get to the scene of the quake as quickly as possible to find those still alive. In France, the government said in a statement Sunday it is sending 11 rescuers and emergency equipment to Kathmandu Sunday. Saturday's magnitude 7.8 earthquake spread horror from Kathmandu to small villages and to the slopes of Mount Everest, triggering an avalanche that buried part of the base camp packed with foreign climbers.
