BULAWAYO, 17 February 2009 (IRIN) - Mass burials are being conducted in Zimbabwe's second city, Bulawayo, to empty hospital mortuaries of hundreds of unclaimed and decomposing bodies.

The morgues at the city’s two main referral hospitals, Mpilo and the
United Bulawayo, have fallen into disrepair, with broken refrigerators
unable to maintain the required temperatures in the summer heat to
prevent decomposition.
