> Nepal has started placing victims of last week’s devastating flood in mass graves after collecting DNA samples. Authorities say 1,003 bodies have been recovered and 3,916 people remain missing. The disaster, triggered by a high-altitude glacial collapse, overwhelmed Hindu death rituals as unidentified bodies were buried in Chitwan.
