The hungry man in red shirt... |
I honestly think poverty and bad government is making this Ebola virus spread at a rapid rate.

Shocking moment runaway Ebola patient is bundled into
back of Monrovia ambulance after causing panic at local market when he
turned up looking for food
This is the
shocking moment a man suffering from Ebola was bundled into the back of
an ambulance after he caused mass panic at a market in Liberia when he
wandered in looking for food.
Attempting
to make off with loaves of bread, the man is then chased down the road
by men wearing yellow protection suits, who eventually catch him and
bundle him into the back of a UNICEF vehicle.
People were scared of him and angry too.. |

It was revealed that food in countries hit by the West
African Ebola outbreak is becoming increasingly expensive and difficult
to find, as farmers are barred from accessing their fields in order to
prevent the disease spreading, a UN food agency has warned.
Those countries - Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - all rely on grain from abroad to feed their people, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.
The World Health Organisation is asking countries to lift border closures because they are preventing supplies from reaching people in desperate need.
Ivory Coast decided last night to keep its borders with Guinea and Liberia closed but said it would open a humanitarian corridor to allow supplies in. The news comes as Ivory Coast's football association said it will host the country's African Nations Cup qualifier against Sierra Leone this weekend following a special national security council meeting.
The decision, announced in a government statement published in local media today, comes one week after the government said it would not allow the match to go ahead, citing health concerns.
As of August 29, the World Health Organization had confirmed 935 cases of the deadly virus in Sierra Leone - including 380 deaths - though that number is likely to have since risen.

Does anyone now see why education, good governance, honest leaders, leaders who are visionaries and a good economy is important? I can't blame the guy, he must have been seriously hungry and i am sure that they were not providing them with enough food. Someone needs to donate not only medical supplies to these people but food, clothes and other supplies too. God please take control.
I just had to quickly write this. Thanks for checking out my blog..
