      They pull on their death smocks and pass around rum. The men on the burial team steel themselves for the grisly task ahead. http://nyti.ms/2AVOVIy pic.twitter.com/YSYcZ6rfeH

      They have come to collect the abandoned dead in Port-au-Prince. Stacked up in cellar-like rooms, these are the bodies of people whose families can’t afford funerals. http://nyti.ms/2AVOVIy pic.twitter.com/I11T4Wfr4y

      Before the burial team stepped in, forgotten bodies were dumped in the desert. These men offer them some dignity. http://nyti.ms/2AVOVIy pic.twitter.com/C1loPJPely

      All of the members of the burial team grew up poor. Many were orphans. They see themselves in the bodies they pick up, particularly the children. http://nyti.ms/2AVOVIy pic.twitter.com/nGkFvDTwJD

      Christmas is their busiest time. Then, they can’t stand the idea of leaving rotting bodies behind, so they take as many as 120 at once. http://nyti.ms/2AVOVIy pic.twitter.com/cp92Y8dMYC
