Unclaimed bodies found decaying in an outdoor shed have been buried alongside others in a mass grave in Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby, APA reports citing BBC.

The burial took place after a viral social media video appeared to show excess bodies from the Port Moresby General Hospital morgue in the shed.

Of the 92 bodies buried - not all found in the shed - 40 of them were children.

The hospital said the government had allocated additional funding to the mortuary for 2023.

The viral video showed at least 10 bodies, wrapped in blankets, on bunks and in hospital beds in an outdoor shed.
