Little  information has emerged from the epicentre, where extensive damage has  been reported, and there are fears the death toll could rise yet  further. The Nepalese information minister has told the BBC that  1,500 people had been killed in the disaster, but that the true casualty  figure would probably be much higher.Thousands of people are spending the night outside their houses, following a series of aftershocks.</blockquote>
