Nepal floods: Families gather at overwhelmed morgues in desperate search for loved ones

In Nepal, the hope of finding survivors is fading daily. Bodies are piling up in morgues, and storage capacity is reaching its limit.

Authorities are beginning to bury the remains after DNA samples are taken and an identification number is assigned. The hope is that families will be able to find them later.

For the relatives of the missing, the wait is unbearable. They go from one hospital to another, consult the lists of survivors and scrutinise the photos of unidentified bodies.

France 24's special correspondents met with several of these families at the morgue of Kathmandu University Hospital.
