Nepal: 3,000 missing and decomposing bodies

Rescue teams in Nepal and China continue their efforts this weekend to locate thousands of people affected by a deadly avalanche that devastated a border region of the Himalayas, destroying entire villages. Official figures indicate nearly 3,000 people are missing, while around 700 bodies have been recovered. Some reports suggest additional fatalities may have been carried downstream into distant areas like India. Due to the overwhelming number of unidentified and unclaimed bodies, authorities have resorted to mass burials in common graves as an emergency measure to prevent further decomposition. Rescue operations face extreme challenges due to thick mud covering the affected zones. Survivors describe losing everything and now waiting anxiously for news about their loved ones who remain missing, while also facing the daunting task of rebuilding their lives. One major rescue operation focuses on a hydroelectric plant where approximately 100 people are trapped in a tunnel since the disaster.
