Striking burial workers in Sierra Leone have dumped corpses (not pictured) in the street over non-payment of their hazard allowances  (AP)The Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone has taken a turn for the worse as striking workers are said to have dumped dead bodies in the street in protest of the non-payment of their allowances.The workers left about 15 infected corpses, including those of two babies, outside a hospital and a spokesperson said that they had not been paid for seven weeks.Authorities have said that all the striking workers would be dismissed while confirming that they were indeed being owed allowances.
"Displaying corpses in a very, very inhumane manner is completely unacceptable," the spokesman for the National Ebola Response Centre, Sidi Yahya Tunis said.Tunis also said that the money had already been released to the district health management team"Somebody somewhere needs to be investigated (to find out) where these monies have been going," he told Reuters.The bodies were reportedly dropped in front of the hospital to keep people from entering while, according to the head of the district Ebola Response Team, Abdul Wahab Wan, some other corpses were displayed around the hospital.The current Ebola outbreak has claimed over 5000 lives and the World Health Organization(WHO) has warned that cases are on the increase in Sierra Leone.'Jola Sotubois an Associate at Pulse.‘Jola is a lawyer by profession, a photographer by training and a writer at heart.
