🇳🇵 DNA IDENTIFICATION WORK CONTINUES IN NEPAL
Nepal’s forensic teams are continuing to compare DNA from recovered remains with samples provided by families searching for missing loved ones after the Rasuwa–Bhotekoshi flood.
Although testing is progressing, no new confirmed identification total or confirmed foreign-national match has been publicly announced today.
Authorities must verify every potential result with additional evidence, including fingerprints, dental records and post-mortem details, before officially identifying a victim or handing over remains to a family.
⚠️ Preliminary DNA matches should not be presented as confirmed identifications.
