“Everybody needs someone to bury them,” said Raphaël Louigene. Raphaël, who’s pictured in the second photo here, is a social worker in Haiti’s most dangerous slum, Cité Soleil. One of his tasks: retrieving the abandoned dead. Nearly 8 years after the earthquake, some Haitians remain blisteringly poor. But even modest funeral parlors offer services starting at $1,100. No matter how rich in love they may be, most people can’t pay those fees. And so, the bodies of sons and mothers wait, stacked one atop one another in the morgues of Rue de l’Enterrement — Burial Road. Raphaël’s team collects the unclaimed dead and gives them burials. No one has kept careful count of the number of people they’ve buried, but they suspect it’s around 30,000. Why do it? Sometimes, Raphaël hears the dead in his sleep. They urge him to continue. All of the forgotten dead had names and families and stories. But the burial team will never know them. To them, they’re just victims of mizè — misery. “They didn’t have a chance,” he said. “They spent their lives in misery, they died in misery.” @danielberehulak took these photos of the #heroes of Burial Road.
