At least 38 people who survived an earthquake in Nepal have died after spending more than a month living in tents in freezing temperatures. Among the dead is a woman who gave birth two days after the earthquake struck the west of the country on 3 November.

More than 40,000 people are now living under sheets of tarpaulin, according to the directorate of health for Karnali province.
