Severe floods broke out in the border areas between Nepal and China on the 26th. According to the latest statistics in Nepal today (30th), a total of 734 people died and 2,498 people were missing. However, as of the evening of the 29th, only 20 bodies had been identified by their families. Since morgues everywhere were full and emitted the stench of corpses, Nepal has begun to arrange mass burials.

According to the "Kathmandu Post" report, a large number of victims in Nepal were washed away from the center of the flood to Nuwakot, dozens of kilometers downstream. The morgues along the way were full. There were at least 211 mutilated bodies, and many were buried in the sand for 2 to 3 days, making identification very difficult.

According to Nepalese law, if there is insufficient space in the morgue, the unidentified corpse can be numbered and buried. However, before that, DNA samples, fingerprints, irises, and dental information must be collected to compare with the government database. The face, tattoos, or other physical features must also be photographed and archived so that they can be identified if family members come to identify the body in the future.

The combined morgues of all hospitals in the Chitwan region of Nepal can only store 50 bodies, but there are currently 233. Therefore, the Chitwan authorities have selected a location to prepare for collective burial. The 80 bodies whose DNA has been collected will become the first batch of victims to be buried.

Open Questions

  • ?How is the search and rescue of the missing going?
  • ?Will more identity verification results be announced in the future?
