While all around them schools, temples, homes and government buildings lay in ruins, a further 200,000 Nepalese are expected to leave the heavily damaged capital city in coming days.

The Daily Telegraph yesterday visited one of the biggest campsites in Kathmandu, where hundreds of young children, toddlers and babies play as their exhausted parents look on.

Despite the pain and agony of losing their homes and belongings, these Nepalese families soldier on in wet and muddy conditions left behind by downpours. Families have banded together, looking out for each other’s children and sharing meals cooked on gas-cookers. Babies and toddlers smeared in mud and dirt walk bare feet or in thongs.

They wash when they can, using the sparse amount of clean water available.

“You’re out — next batsmen in,” one of the kids shouts after bowling down an imaginary pair of stumps. In another campsite two toddlers splash and play in a water puddle, throwing rocks in to wet each other.

As the military and police watch on to ensure law and order is maintained in the camps, parents swarm towards any aid that is made available.

The Daily Telegraph was swamped by a group of children eager for a chocolate treat.

“Thank you, Thank you,” they say.

Inside Bir Hospital, doctors struggle to keep up with overwhelming demand, performing makeshift surgery in emergency room beds.

The hospital, which is accommodating many older patients who have come in off the street, is struggling to keep up.

A LOOK INSIDE KATHMANDU’S FRANTIC DURBAR SQUARE

Nearby, Durbar High School has lost a wall, leaving bricks piled up on the street.

In a rare moment of jubilation for Nepalese and foreign search and rescue crews, a teenage boy was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building after being buried for five days. Crews worked for more than six hours to free Pemba Tamang, using an ­excavator and shovelling by hand.

The 18-year-old was conscious when he was rushed to hospital after clinging on to life inside a small pocket between the rubble around and on top of him.

As Nepalese escape the carnage in the capital, dozens of Australians were flown out of Kathmandu late yesterday. Two Amberley-based Australian C-17 planes arrived about 4pm, unloading ­important medical supplies and tents to Nepalese officials before transporting the stranded Australian citizens to Bangkok.

The Australian tourists will catch commercial flights from Thailand back to their homes.

Up to 30 ADF personnel, ­including logistic and medical staff, accompanied the planes to Nepal.
