A UNICEF worker who spent the night sleeping in her car with her children in Nepal says everyone is living in fear of another earthquake.

Rupa Joshi says there's rumours going around the city that there's going to be another big one, which doesn't help.

She says she spent last night sleeping in her car with her children, and can't imagine what it would have been like for those thousands on the streets.

"You can imagine there were mosquitoes all about, then it was raining.

"So yes I mean, even with us - we had the privilege of having a car - it was a terrible night."
