Nepal buries today victims of the devastating flooding that occurred on the border with China, without waiting for the identification of bodies or the end of relief operations, due to the magnitude of the disaster. The situation forced authorities to accelerate the burial process to deal with the large number of fatalities.
Relief operations continue in progress, but the scale of the catastrophe has exceeded initial response capacity. Local authorities decided not to wait for formal identification of bodies before proceeding with burials, a measure taken given the urgency imposed by the gravity of the events.
The disaster occurred in the border region between Nepal and China, where flooding caused widespread destruction. The local population now faces the consequences of one of the worst natural disasters in the region in recent years.
