Forensic thanatology teams work among rows of caskets and body bags near the port’s silos as they document and process the victims. The scale of loss is visible across the quayside, now filled with temporary facilities and recovery operations.

Teams move between containers, carrying body bags and recording details in a controlled but heavy atmosphere.

Nearby, relatives wait outside the identification area, some holding flowers and others standing in silence as they look for news of loved ones.

The port, normally a busy shipping hub, has become a central site for emergency response and identification work in the aftermath of the disaster.
