> Nepal’s government has withdrawn its earlier refusal of international search-and-rescue assistance. The foreign minister said the country needs specialised support, including tunnel rescue expertise, DNA testing to identify victims and facilities to store bodies. The Nepali Army’s emergency centre in Bidur is serving as a key base for relief operations after the devastating floods.
