US provides DNA supplies to Nepal for flood victim identification


Kathmandu [Nepal], Oct 29 – The United States has provided additional DNA-testing supplies to Nepal Police to help identify American citizens and other victims of the devastating August floods.

The supplies were received this week by FBI Assistant Law Enforcement Attaché Riley Palmertree. They were manufactured by US-based Thermo Fisher Scientific and are part of a $1 million US contribution to support Nepal Police’s Rapid DNA systems.

The assistance is aimed at expanding efforts to identify victims and provide answers to families awaiting information about their loved ones.

The United States has also continued to support Nepal’s flood response, providing more than $36 million in life-saving and other disaster recovery assistance.
