Unburied Bodies Show Transportation Woes in Areas Hit by Ebola

Burials of people who have died of Ebola are taking as long as five days in Liberia as a shortage of ambulances and fuel compound the fear and isolation that are stoking the worst outbreak of the virus on record.

A lack of vehicles and a fuel shortage are also hampering the ability of the World Health Organization and its allies to reach affected communities and investigate new cases, said Rick Brennan, director of the WHO’s department of emergency risk management and humanitarian response.
