The most urgent task for the armies that liberated camps was to nurse the survivors back to physical health. They were dangerously undernourished - many looked like walking skeletons with skin over their bones. Many was also very sick and many were dying. In most, if not all camps it took several weeks to reduce the death toll. At Bergen-Belsen, for example, many of the inmates were desperately undernourished and suffering from typhus. The British Army appealed for volunteers with first-hand experience of famine relief. At most of the camps the liberators had to bury large piles of corpses, too.
