Nepal opts for burials over cremations for flood victims
Authorities in Nepal have begun burying unidentified flood victims rather than cremating them. This decision follows a surge in bodies that has pushed morgues to capacity, with many remains too badly decomposed to be identified by sight. Officials are documenting the location of every grave and gathering DNA samples, photos, and personal information beforehand. This process ensures that if family members later provide a matching DNA sample, the bodies can be dug up and handed over to them.
