CLEAN : Red Cross: Burying Ebola dead restores cultural dignity

The transcript discusses the challenges faced by the Red Cross in collecting bodies during the Ebola outbreak. Steve Barrow's efforts to ease tensions between the Red Cross and communities are highlighted. The main issue is the conflict between the practice of cremation, which goes against local traditions, and the need to prevent the spread of Ebola.
