Ebola bodies dumped at Sierra Leone hospital by protesting burial workers
Bodies of Ebola victims in Sierra Leone have been dumped in public places by burial workers who say they haven't been paid the special risk allowances they claim they were promised, the CBC reports.
Workers in Kenema, the country's third-largest city, reportedly left one body by a hospital manager's office and two others by the hospital entrance.
Sierra Leone is one of the worst-hit countries in Africa, with more than 1,200 Ebola deaths so far. It recorded 533 new cases in the week to Nov. 16, Reuters reported.
There was no immediate comment from the Kenema hospital or the Sierra Leone Health Ministry, the BBC said.
The burial workers' action came two weeks after health workers went on strike for similar reasons at a clinic near Bo, the only facility in southern Sierra Leone that is currently treating Ebola victims, the BBC said.
