Ebola: A day with the burial team
The BBC spent the day with Red Cross Burial Team 9 in the capital of Sierra Leone
The death toll from Ebola in west Africa has this week passed 8,000. More than 20,000 people have been infected in the three worst-affected countries - almost half of them in Sierra Leone.
One factor crucial to ending the outbreak is the safe burial of Ebola victims, because their bodies are particularly toxic.
The UK is funding more than 100 burial teams in Sierra Leone. Tulip Mazumdar spent the day with one of them, the Sierra Leone Red Cross Burial Team 9 in the capital Freetown. Here she describes her day.
