Mass Burials in Nepal Expose the Futility of Human Planning Against Nature's Fury The sight of mass burials in Chitwan, Nepal, is a stark reminder that even in the most unlikely places, human tragedy can unfold with devastating speed.
A catastrophic flash flood swept through valleys along Nepal's border with China, leaving over 750 people dead and more than 3,000 missing. Authorities are struggling to identify victims amidst the chaos.
Mass burials have become a grim necessity due to the rapid decomposition of bodies in the absence of proper morgues or adequate facilities.
