The burial workers in Sierra Leone, who are mainly hired for the entombment of dead Ebola victims have decided to dump the corpses of ebola victim in front of Kenema Hospital in Sierra Leone, in protest over their anger for non-payment of 'risk -fees'.
It was said that these workers have been on strike for the past 2-weeks, due to this same case, and since nothing seems to be done about getting their remuneration, they decided that maybe this act shall get the attention of their employers to hasten up and heed to their call.
With this kind of undertaking, there is chances of more persons getting infested with this deadly ebola virus, since it requires proper hygiene to get controlled, and the littering of the hospital gate with dead bodies shall in turn create more health hazards than solving the problem
Recently, it was reported that about 500 new cases of Ebola was discovered, and Anthony Banbury, the head of UN Mission for Ebola Response, had earlier cautioned that the health authorities are beginning to lose control of ebola containment in the rural areas which is due to poor intermediation means.
