It is becoming worst each day as relatives of Ebola victims have started dumping infected bodies of their loved ones in the streets of Monrovia, Liberia for fear of catching the deadly disease, defying government order to leave the relatives at home.

"They are removing the bodies from their homes and are putting them out in the street. They're exposing themselves to the risk of being contaminated. We're asking people to please leave the bodies in their homes and we'll pick them up.
