The Mass Burial | 9 | Members of the public, hired by the National Capital District Commission, move bodies from the morgue on to trucks for the mass burial of unclaimed bodies from the Port Moresby General Hospital morgue. Hospital staff handed out face masks to help obscure the smell of the rotten corpses. Due to the morgue being full to capacity, the bodies had been stored in refrigerated shipping containers, some for nearly two years. (Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, February 13, 2009).
