The Civil Aviation Ministry said Tuesday that a team from the Forensic Medicine Authority (FMA) arrived at a hotel, where families of the EgyptAir plane victims are staying to get DNA samples to be able to identify the retrieved body parts.

Some of the families, who are not staying at the hotel, also arrived there today to provide samples and follow up the outcome of the search operations, according to a statement by the Civil Aviation Ministry.

The search is still on for more body parts, plane wreckage or passengers' belongings, the statement noted.
