Five days after a deadly three-train crash killed 275 people in India, close to a 100 bodies remain unclaimed.

The crash on Friday evening in the state of Odisha involved two passenger trains and a stationary goods train.

More than 1,000 injured were taken to hospitals for treatment. Many families say they are still looking for loved ones.

The deadly collision is India’s worst rail accident this century.

The crash saw a passenger train derail after wrongly entering into a loop track by the side of the main line and colliding with a stationary goods train that was parked there. Its derailed carriages then struck the rear coaches of a second passenger train going in the opposite direction.

More than 3,000 passengers are thought to have been travelling on the two trains, with reports saying both were packed.
