Liberia: School turned into an Ebola ward

It is a devastating reality that every day at least one person dies in West Africa, with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa killing over one thousand people. The outbreak is particularly severe in Movoria, Liberia, where a photographer, John Moore risked getting the virus to take images of the depressing state of the nation.The United Nations has promised to send food supplies to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea since the outbreak has collapsed their economies. The supplies are expected to feed one million. This is perhaps the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history and whereas previously experimental drugs were not allowed to be given to patients in Africa because of potential risks. This week, the World Health Organization gathered a group of ethicists and unanimously decided to that the situation demands that the risk be taken. The experimental drugs were given to two American missionaries and one Spanish priest. The two Americans seem to be recovering while the priest died Tuesday morning. Let us all hope and pray that they will save some lives in West Africa.
