At the Miraflores Palace, during a press conference with international media, to provide an assessment of the earthquakes last Wednesday, June 24, he said that “no one is going to a mass grave”.

He emphasized that each case receives a rigorous identification process, “the first thing is recognition by fingerprint and photograph, in cases where it has not been possible, we go for forensic teeth. We have all the forensic doctors in this work who have allowed each body to have a file, allowing it to be recognized.”

“In some cases the relatives have made the decision to cremate him and in others to bury him,” he said.

The president in charge assured that the protocols applied comply with national and international standards for the treatment of victims of natural disasters.
