Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN)Rescue and aid workers in Nepal struggled
to gain the upper hand Monday against the devastation dealt by
Saturday's powerful earthquake -- digging through rubble by hand,
performing surgeries in makeshift operating theaters, scouring
notoriously difficult terrain for more victims.
.
But power blackouts in the capital city of Kathmandu, supply
shortages and difficulties getting around complicated the efforts.
.
By nightfall, at least 3,954 people were known dead in Nepal,
India and China as a result of the earthquake. Nepalese officials
say more than 7,000 were injured.
.
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta said doctors at one Kathmandu hospital had
moved patients from the 120-year-old building and into another
structure, where they were operating on patients in rooms normally
not used as operating theaters.
.
Hospitals were running short on supplies despite international
efforts to rush in aid. Numerous aid groups and at least 16 nations
rushed aid and workers to Nepal, with more on the way.
.
And across the region, thousands prepared to spend another night
outdoors, fearing that damaged buildings could collapse if there
are more aftershocks.

.
The destruction in Kathmandu, the capital, is stark: revered temples
reduced to rubble, people buried in the wreckage of their homes, hospitals
short on medical supplies and overflowing with patients. Serious damage is
also reported in villages in the surrounding valley.
.
Social media posts from Nepal
.
But farther out across Nepal's rugged landscape -- closer to the epicenter
of Saturday's magnitude-7.8 quake -- the situation is disturbingly murky.
.
"Information about remote areas is severely lacking at this time," said
Devendra Singh Tak, an official with Save the Children, noting that roads
were blocked and communications unreliable.
.
Reports of 'total or near total destruction'
.
Patchy reports have filtered through of entire villages leveled by the
quake or engulfed by landslides.
