7) With the death toll continuing to rise, UNICEF fears thousands of children may have been killed by Monday's earthquake and its aftershocks. The organisation is not currently able to accurately determine the number of children killed in both countries.

8) According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), some 23 million people, including around five million vulnerable populations, could be affected by the disaster.
