DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Now we turn to a story of hope and despair in earthquake-ravaged India. Four days after the 7.9 magnitude quake devastated western India, rescue workers are finding a few survivors. But thousands are still missing and believed buried in the wreckage, and many thousands more are homeless and have little food or water. So far, the death toll stands at 11,000, and it's still climbing. CNN's Nic Robertson joins us now by videophone. He is in Bhuj, India with the latest -- Nic.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the situation here is that night has fallen and the rescue effort is still going on. I don't know if you can see behind me, but the lights are mounted on a mechanical digger that is trying to pull out people from some of the rubble behind me in a building there. The army is spearheading the effort here. And just over an hour ago, they did pull out one person from the rubble in the building, four-story apartment behind me. That person, unfortunately, was dead, although earlier on the army did find some people living here. Now, the rescue effort has been helped by the fact that there are now international teams here working with the Indian relief officials to try and get to the trapped people who are still alive below the rubble. Now, the equipment they're bringing with them, these international teams, are thermal imaging equipment and highly sensitive listening devices that they can lower into the rubble. One of the big problems here the town's people are telling us about, beyond trying to recover the living people, is the number of dead. They're very afraid that with such a large number of dead buried in the rubble, there's a risk of the spread of disease. And this is the fourth day that temperatures are very hot during the day. And when you pass some buildings, it's very evident by the smell that there are, in fact, people buried beneath those buildings. So there are real health concerns here at this time as well.</s>KAGAN: Nic Robertson bringing us the latest from Bhuj, thank you very much. We'll get more ahead just from you, Nic.
