In Nepal, the hope of finding survivors is fading daily. Bodies are piling up in morgues, and storage capacity is reaching its limit. Authorities are beginning to bury the remains after DNA samples are taken and an identification number is assigned. The hope is that families will be able to find them later. For the relatives of the missing, the wait is unbearable. They go from one hospital to another, consult the lists of survivors and scrutinise the photos of unidentified bodies. France 24's special correspondents met with several of these families at the morgue of Kathmandu University Hospital. #Nepal #Tibet #floods 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures o
