The authorities have completed the identification of the 13 bodies retrieved from the Morocco boat tragedy. Diplomatic sources have verified that all deceased individuals were Pakistani nationals.
On January 15, reports emerged that 44 Pakistanis had lost their lives in the tragedy, but local authorities could only recover 13 bodies, which were unidentifiable and lacked proper documentation.
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) was invited to assist in the identification process. Photos of the deceased and their fingerprints were communicated to NADRA for verification.
