Nepalese authorities have requested Portugal to send DNA samples of the two Portuguese citizens who remain missing after a major flood that hit the region. The request is related to the fact that a Portuguese citizen was rescued alive a week after the floods occurred.
Two Portuguese women remain missing following this natural catastrophe. Local authorities believe the man rescued a week after the disaster may provide relevant information about the whereabouts of the two missing women.
The request for DNA samples indicates that Nepalese authorities may be preparing for a victim identification scenario. The situation of the two Portuguese women remains uncertain while search operations and diplomatic contacts between the two countries continue.
