A member of a burial team takes a sample from a suspected Ebola victim
before disinfecting and burying the body in the village of Pendembu in
eastern Sierra Leone. The team had received a late call, and decided to
work at night rather than leave the job until the next day. The work is
dangerous and traumatic, but the burial teams are an essential part of
the fight against the virus.
