I would think they would want to burn the bodies. Burying them will just spread more disease and take up land that could be occupied by others?
Apparantly they were stopped from doing that...
From the article...
“Workers say they have no time to give the dead proper religious burials or follow pleas from the international community that bodies be buried in shallow graves from which loved ones might eventually retrieve them.”
I dont know how they thought the families could find their loved ones later...
But with a mindset like that imagine the uproar if the bodies were burnt...
(Though it would be the best thing to do...disease, room, time etc)
