Missing San Francisco man found Nepal, rescue efforts continue

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Francis H. Gonzalez of San Francisco has been located alive and safe in Nepal, following the massive earthquake that has killed over 5,600 people.

His family contacted ABC7 News reporter Sergio Quintana with the news Thursday morning. His family says Gonzalez called them from the Annapurna Mountains in Nepal.

Meanwhile, a relief agency says congestion at the airport in Nepal's capital -- along with blocked roads, fuel shortages and difficult terrain -- are slowing down the pace of aid delivery in the aftermath of Saturday's deadly quake.

The group Oxfam says it is looking at ways to transport essential goods overland from India. Heavy rainfall is also a problem.

According to the U.N., Saturday's earthquake -- which killed more than 5,000 people -- has displaced about 2.8 million Nepalese. Over 70,000 homes are believed to be destroyed.

He says they ranged from 3.2 magnitude to 6.9, the strongest occurring on Sunday.
