Nepal Flash Floods Trigger Mass Burials, Decline Foreign Aid
A devastating glacial collapse-triggered flash flood in Nepal has resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands missing, leading authorities to conduct mass burials of unidentified victims. DNA samples are being collected for identification. Nepal has declined offers of foreign rescue assistance, though South Korea stated it was negotiating. The country is also on alert for potential fresh flooding as a dammed lake on the Tibetan side has burst again. Volunteers have reported to Nepal's army emergency response centers.
