KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Aid is trickling in to villages in Nepal’s mountainous northwest hit by a strong earthquake over the weekend as survivors searched through the rubble of their collapsed homes to salvage what was left of their belongings. The strong temblor late on Friday killed 157 people and injured 256, leaving thousands homeless. Authorities rushed food supplies, tents and medicines to the villages on Monday as rescue and search teams said they were wrapping up their efforts. In the village of Chepare, people were moving piles of rocks and logs that used to be their homes, looking for anything they could salvage.
