Bodies pile up outside hospital morgue as Romania struggles with fourth wave of Covid

'It's relentless -- relentless,' sighed nurse Claudiu Ionita, standing in front of a line of gurneys in Bucharest University Hospital's morgue. On each gurney lay a body inside a black plastic bag. The morgue has a capacity for 15 bodies, but on the day CNN visited, it had received 41. The excess bodies filled the corridor outside, while wails echoed from within the morgue. A woman had been allowed inside for a final glimpse of her father. Bucharest University Hospital is the Romanian capital's largest medical facility treating Covid-19 patients and is struggling through the country's fourth wave, its worst yet. 'I never thought, when I started this job, that I would live through something like this,' said Ionita. 'I never thought such a catastrophe could happen, that we'd end up sending whole families to their graves.'
