Several videos emerged in the past few days after a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, killing some 4,000 people.

The initial quake has been followed by a series of aftershocks and avalanches, causing devastating destruction.

Aid and rescue efforts are being mounted by the international community, with an Israeli field hospital en route to Nepal on Monday.

A clip aired by Russia Today shows an avalanche on Mount Everest that buried an entire camp of climbers under snow.

Seventeen people died in that incident.
