Air crash investigators and Red Cross workers spent Monday retrieving remains and personal items belonging to the 157 victims, of 35 different nationalities, who were on flight ET 302.

The carrier spokesman said searching and digging to uncover body parts and aircraft debris would continue.

Among those killed were 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, and nine Ethiopians, as well as United Nations staff.
Relatives of Kenyan victims told Al Jazeera that government officials would give them more information on Thursday about whether some of them are going to travel to Ethiopia to follow developments from there, and when the bodies of their loved ones were going to be brought back home for burial.
“Families are being told that it’s a very difficult process just identifying some of these bodies that are badly charred,” Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi, reporting from the Jomo Kenyatta International airport in Nairobi, said.
