Rescuers continue to search through the rubble of scores of cities and villages in western India three days after a powerful earthquake brought widescale destruction to the region.
Varying estimates place the death toll anywhere from 10,000 to more than 30,000, the Associated Press reported. Six thousand bodies have been recovered so far.
Searchers kept picking away at the rubble Sunday in towns surrounding Bhuj, a city of 150,000 at the epicenter of the quake that was almost completely leveled by the magnitude 7.9 quake. A 3-year-old girl was pulled alive from the wreckage of one town Sunday.
Aftershocks--including one of magnitude 6.0 Sunday--continue to affect the region.
The earthquake was the most powerful to strike India in more than half a century, and was felt as far away as Nepal and Bangladesh.
