Global Affairs collecting DNA from families of Canadians missing in Nepal

Global Affairs Canada is taking crucial steps to identify Canadians missing in Nepal after a devastating flash flood last week by collecting DNA samples from their families. This effort underscores the government's commitment to resolving the tragic aftermath of the disaster. The use of DNA for identification is essential, especially when traditional means are hampered by the flood's destruction. This initiative highlights the importance of advanced forensic techniques in disaster recovery and the emotional and logistical challenges faced by families in such catastrophic events.
