Dozens of British and Irish people have still not been traced following Saturday's earthquake in Nepal, The BBC reported.

The Red Cross had said 90 Britons were missing, but 30 have been located and the UK Foreign Office said it was not aware of any deaths or injuries.

A RAF flight will carry vital UK aid stocks to the affected areas, along with a team of Gurkha engineers, the government said.

At least 4,000 people died and more than 7,000 were injured in the quake.

The International Committee of the Red Cross had released a list of 90 missing Britons, but the BBC understands more than 30 have since been accounted for.

However, there could still be additional missing Britons not on the Red Cross list.
