India Earthquake: Death Toll Expected to Reach 100,000
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Five days after a devastating earthquake, India's defense minister says he fears the death toll could reach 100,000. Survivors in western India are facing food shortages, with some people saying they've not eaten solid foods in several days. Hungry residents have mobbed relief workers, angry over the lack of food, even as the search for bodies continues. CNN's Kasra Naji reports.</s>KASRA NAJI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): International search and rescue teams are finding fewer and fewer survivors. This team of British rescue workers were about to give up and leave, when they found another survivor. The chances of finding many more people alive under the rubble is very slim now. Among those found alive today were a young woman and her one- year-old baby. They were pulled out alive from under the rubble in the city of Ahmadabad, four days after the quake. Amazingly, both were relatively unhurt. In the town of Bachau, a 75-year-old woman was pulled out alive by the Russian rescue team. A 16-year-old boy was rescued in the town of Anjar. In many areas, rescue workers are now focusing their efforts on recovering the dead. Here, soldiers are calling on the crowd to clear the area for that work to begin. Many bodies have decomposed. This man is applying disinfectant. Thousands are still buried under the rubble in several towns and many villages. There is also concern for the survivors. Food, water and medicine are badly needed. International aid is arriving. This plane arrived at Ahmadabad Airport earlier today. It brought with it tents and blankets from India's arch enemy, Pakistan. Such is the extent of the disaster, that the need to help people in need transcend age-old hostilities.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Its a gesture of goodwill and sympathy.</s>NAJI: History has also been a casualty. Many ancient temples, mosques and monuments have been damaged. A 113-year-old museum in the town of Bhuj has been completely destroyed. India has yet to count the cost of this earthquake.
