> In Nepal, hopes of finding survivors are fading as morgues fill and storage space nears capacity. Authorities are burying remains after collecting DNA samples and assigning identification numbers, so families may identify them later. Relatives of the missing endure an agonising wait, moving between hospitals, checking survivor lists and examining photos of unidentified bodies.
