Conditions are Horrible and the Pandemic is Now Worse Than Ever!!!
Deadly ebola virus now out of control, claim medics
Fear is spreading across the affected countries as humanitarian agencies become overwhelmed.
‘Lots of people in my family are dead. I left my home and I don’t know what to do,” said a Guinean ebola refugee last week.”
“People in rural areas are still very ill-informed about ebola and traditionally turned to witchdoctors, voodoo and used superstition to overcome diseases,” says Dr Fry. “This is the first outbreak in the region, so many people are unsure how to cure it and are not medicating themselves properly.”
Locals have hindered foreign aid workers in space suits coming into villages as many believe they are spreading the disease not trying to contain it. Others have gone into hiding when they thought they had the ebola, with the help of their families.
In one case, the husband of a nurse who died hid after he realised that all the medical people who washed her body died, alongside the Imam who prayed over her corpse. Another sufferer went missing in Freetown in Sierra Leone after her family members got her from a hospital.
Medical staff in the region are completely overstretched. They not only have to endure searing heat in rubber boots and impermeable body suits, but they are short of resources both medical and human.
