A Bradford volunteer who helped deliver emergency aid to more than 1,000 victims of the Nepal earthquake has said this week's second quake has caused "nothing short of hell".

Salman Malik, 28, visited the disaster-hit country as part of a Humanity First UK medical team, having been involved with the charity as a fundraiser for the past four years.
