The Uncounted: Burying the Invisible Dead in Nepal The aftermath of Nepal's devastating floods has left behind a haunting reality – hundreds of unidentified bodies washed up by the waters, buried hastily in mass graves.
The death toll continues to rise, with 1,003 confirmed dead and 3,916 missing, including 583 foreign nationals. Yet, amidst the headcounts, a more profound question lingers: what does it mean to be forgotten in death?
The process of burying the unidentified has been shrouded in secrecy, with authorities working behind closed doors to provide some semblance of dignity for those who perished without leaving behind even a name.
