This disaster has taken 1,204 lives, while over 4,000 individuals have gone missing; families are anxiously waiting for information about their relatives.

Ongoing Rescue Operations in Adverse Situations
There are rescue operations ongoing to search for those who are missing and the victims. It has become quite hard to conduct the rescue operations due to many factors. People who are still trapped under debris or damaged buildings are being looked for. Efforts are being made by the authorities to help out isolated communities in many ways.
The Struggle to Wait for Their Family Members
For thousands of people, the greatest difficulty is the uncertainty surrounding the whereabouts of their loved ones. They are moving from one hospital to another or going to the centers of identification with the hope of learning about their family members. Identification of the victims has also proved to be an issue of concern. The authorities are busy identifying the dead bodies and delivering them to their respective families. For such cases where visual identification cannot be made, DNA tests and other ways of identification can be performed.
Rescue Operations Continue
In spite of the increasing number of deaths and other complications, the rescue operation teams are engaged in the rescue work. At the same time, the efforts are being made to repair the damaged infrastructure as well. With Nepal coping up with the consequences of the natural catastrophe, the search for their family members and prevention of casualties are the main priorities.
