Nepal is preparing for mass burials as mortuaries struggle to accommodate bodies recovered after devastating flash floods and landslides. Officials said many victims remain unidentified, with families still searching for missing relatives. DNA samples and other identification records are being preserved before unclaimed bodies are buried, allowing families to exhume them later if their identities are confirmed. The decision highlights the scale of the disaster, which has overwhelmed rescue and recovery teams. Authorities are continuing search operations in difficult conditions as hopes of finding survivors fade and the focus increasingly shifts to recovering and identifying the dead.
