The death toll in the Tibet autonomous region in the magnitude-7.9 earthquake in Nepal on Saturday rose to 25 on Tuesday evening. Four people were still missing, and 383 people were injured. Eighty-two temples were damaged.
As rescuers reach more remote towns isolated by blocked roads, the number of victims and the injured is expected to rise.
