00:00As the Ebola epidemic continues to spread through eastern DR Congo, the death toll now stands at more than 3
00:08,000 people.
00:09Because of the risk of contagion, victims have to be buried in accordance with strict protocols.
00:16It's difficult and dangerous work.
00:22Burials during this Ebola outbreak are very complicated.
00:26We're racing against time and there are many deaths.
00:30So many people are dying.
00:32Here in Aturu province, at the epicenter of the outbreak, the burial team faces numerous risks,
00:39including exposure to the virus and attacks from people wanting to reclaim the bodies of their loved ones.
00:47Most of the time we face threats and most of the time these threats are verbal.
00:52It also happens often that they're physical, but less so because as time goes on, people are beginning to understand
00:59what this is all about.
01:03Health authorities are racing to contain the outbreak,
01:07but community scepticism combined with ongoing conflict in the region is making their work even harder.
01:14Earlier this week, M23 rebels who control parts of North and South Kivu
01:19said a new case of the virus had been confirmed in an area previously declared Ebola-free.
01:25it's interesting to think the behavioral preached is clearly supers Geneva-free.
