Canada’s federal government says it is working to collect DNA samples from relatives of Canadians still missing after a flash flood affected the border region in Nepal and China.
Global Affairs Canada says efforts are underway to obtain DNA from family members to help identify potential remains. The flood is reported to have struck the border area “last week,” prompting a missing-person search and triggering identification preparations.
While both outlets report the same government action, they focus on different limited details. One outlet frames the work as collecting DNA from families of missing Canadians in Nepal, while the other explicitly mentions missing Canadians in both Nepal and China and situates the response in Ottawa. Neither source provides additional information on casualty counts or the timing of sample collection.
