Tired of waiting for aid, Earthquake victims block roads

Villagers have blocked trucks carrying supplies for earthquake victims, demanding the government do more to help after last week’s disaster left more than 5,200 people dead and tens of thousands homeless and short of food and water. In the capital Kathmandu, about 200 people protested outside parliament, asking for more buses to go to their homes in remote parts of the Himalayan nation and to hasten the distribution of aid that has reached the country but has been slow to reach those in need.
