According to WHO, the death toll in Liberia from the Ebola Virus outbreak has risen to 4,033. Do not forget that a terrible civil war claimed the lives of Liberians for about two decades. Just when the country was picking up its pieces, Ebola knock at their door to claim even more lives. Let’s make this our business.

The dead woman was a market vendor, who collapsed and died outside her home in Monrovia, Liberia, while leaving to walk to a treatment center, according to her relatives. Above, her sister is seen grieving on the ground following the burial team’s departure.

As the proper burial of loved ones is so important in Liberian culture, the removal of infected bodies for incineration is all the more traumatic for surviving family members. Many relatives attempt to convince burial teams to leave the bodies behind.
