Nepali families hold symbolic funerals for those missing in floods

Nearly 4,000 people remain missing after deadly flash floods struck Nepal. With many bodies yet to be found, families are holding symbolic funerals for their loved ones.

Families performed the rituals to “liberate the souls” of those missing, after accepting that they may never return.

Only a handful of the more than 1,000 bodies recovered by authorities have been identified, stretching Nepal’s already limited morgue capacity.
