Summary
The article discusses the challenges faced in identifying the bodies of the victims of the Trishuli Valley flood in Nepal, which is expected to have a death toll surpassing 7,000. Despite international support, only 1,453 bodies have been recovered and less than 10% of them have been identified. The delay in identification is attributed to the complexity of extracting DNA profiles from decomposed bodies and the lack of a robust DNA database. The delay also has legal ramifications, as lack of a death certificate can deny family members relief, compensation, and insurance. The article also highlights the need for streamlining the process for families and the potential legal issues for children whose parents have perished in the disaster.
