Hopes of finding survivors from Nepal’s worst air disaster in decades are fading, police say.
“It’s unlikely there will be any survivors,” spokesperson Tek Prasad Rai told the BBC. Teams were finding body parts at the scene, he added.
At least 68 people died when a flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed and caught fire on Sunday morning.
It is still unclear what caused the crash.
Mobile phone footage showed the Yeti Airlines flight rolling sharply as it approached the airport. It then hit the ground in the gorge of the Seti River, just over a kilometre from the airport.
There were 72 passengers and crew on board the flight.
On Monday some 300 rescuers resumed their search, combing through the charred wreckage.
The prime minister of Nepal has declared Monday a national day of mourning, and the government set up a panel to investigate the cause of the disaster.
