Nepal has reviewed its initial decision to keep international search and rescue teams out of the flood-affected areas, now allowing foreign specialists to arrive to assist in rescue operations. This change in position comes at a critical moment for the country, which is facing the consequences of devastating floods.
Nepalese authorities have also initiated the process of burying unidentified victims, which indicates that the death toll is significant and that many bodies have yet to be claimed by families. This measure aims to prevent public health problems related to the decomposition of bodies.
The decision to accept limited foreign assistance represents a reversal of the Nepalese government's initial stance, which apparently intended to manage the crisis with national resources alone. However, the severity of the situation forced authorities to turn to specialized international aid.
