Crucial to ending the Ebola outbreak is the way bodies are buried. They are highly toxic and anyone who dies at home is presumed to be an Ebola victim and their body is collected by special burial teams.

This is a big task as the number of people who have died from Ebola in West Africa has passed 8000.

The British government is funding over 100 burial teams. The 蜜芽传媒's Global Health Correspondent Tulip Mazumbar spent the day with one from the Sierra Leone Red Cross.
