Ebola outbreak in DR Congo: Mourners learn how to grieve and safely bury a body

In Bunia, the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, the Nyamurongo cemetery is busier than ever. Joel Lonza Makumbu buried his father and mother on consecutive days, and lost three sisters and a brother-in-law to the virus. Health authorities, with WHO anthropologist Julienne Anoko, combat misinformation and promote safe burials, banning traditional body washing. Coffins are used to balance safety and respect for funeral rites.
