The death toll from Ebola has now reached 1,069 and Liberia is the second most affected country after Guinea where this recent outbreak started from. See the photos after the cut...

Thank you John, for risking your life to bring us images of a plague.
And for the people of Liberia, who now have Ebola to contend with on top of poverty and wars of the past, I'm sorry life has been so unfair.
Imagine your last days spent in such a lonely, frightening place, knowing you'll die. Chai.
God forgive me for my ungratefulness.

Heartbreaking.
The conditions in the wards are horrible. Doctors, nurses, health workers and loving family members being treated like shit after they've given up their own lives serving the sick.
I couldn't control my self 😢 😢😢😢😢😢😢
But the truth is I hate seeing such pictures of desperate, helpless Africans. This is what the West sees all the time. It's always one calamity after another.
God, why is Africa like this?

Please for once let the 9ja govt not see this as an avenue to divert funds into private pockets. Let every life of Nigeria citizens be considered sacred especially the medical personnel who are infected. Let everything humanly possible be done to make them comfortable with the immune boaster drugs to give them a better fighting chance.
I'm Outta here.

If the virus is only contagious when the victim is showing full blown symptoms then how come there have been no pictures of the virus at that stage? How come people are only dying after treatment? Is this human testing or something? The fear tactics are working. And as for risking his life, Getty images do this sort of thing for a living.
Tears still rolling down my eyes after seeing the little 3 year old Nino and the other isolated kids. May God bring help to Africa.
No evidence of disease, just low standards of living.
Liberian centre is even better than nigerias isolation centre . I have a plan and a tteam that can control this issue. Federal government if you want to award me thee contract , email me at loiusokri@hotmail.com
Makes me sad :(
Its really heart breaking the way thing are going,so sad I hope the experimental drugs gets there on time.even here also
God pls don't forsake ur children

Oh! My God this is disheartened! God have mercy!
These clips are disturbing. So demoralizing. A case of ephemeral helplessness and hopelessness. MB.C. DORIS
African bush people, God has given us tools and resources to help our self. He will not kill himself for u. Use ur brains. Look at how people are atill touching Ebola infected patients like its nothing. After they've been told how contagious it is. Bush mentality dey worry Africans. Some people are also eating human meat and doing human sacrifices. No body is worries About it and u think God will help u? Listen, when God curse u, nobody can help u. Remember that. Don't respect or favour anyone into all this rituals involving human beings. And God will do something good in ur lives. As long all this sacrifices are going on in d land and all these churches are in every corner praying for money and not against rituals. Wrath of God will get stronger and stronger against d nation. No way out buddy.
This is heartwrenching..I hope we won't be subjected to such harsh treatment
May God help us.
This is so sad...#crying
Æ“♡D purnish ebola and the agent of darkness responsible for this attack on humans.
This clearly shows that the liberian authorities did not handle the situation well. And their iniability to contian the situation has lead to innocent people dying in our country. The pictures shows the people are not educated properly about the virus, look at the woman and husband father and son, the virus will definitely get to them and they will pass on to others. This is really sad
This is inscrutable.
___________Fortunedexcel@rediffmail.com_______________________________
Lord have mercy, quIte pathetic
Its no wonder why the virus is spreading like a wild fire look at that environment.
God help us this end time oooo
PLEASE GOD help these people, we heavily depend on the west now because our brains can never figure out the cure
This is a very difficult time for the people of West Africa. On the other hand, it is a good time to show great courage, demonstrate good leadership and demand accountability. In fact, it is a time to make tough decisions and be honest to oneself. But we can not show courage if we continue to let fear, emotions and religion becloud our sense of good judgement. Africans, we need correct and reliable information to make these correct but tough choices. This is not a time to spread fallacy such as taking a salt-water bath or avoid hand shakes from everybody. This is not a time to make aimless jokes about something as serious as ebola virus. This is not a time to fold our hands and ask God, Allah, Chukwu, Oluwa, America or Canada to help while we do nothing. It is not a time to be ignorant or afraid. It is a time to be practical and do something. We all cannot be Doctors or Nurses but we still are responsible for disseminating accurate and meaningful information that can prevent ebola virus from spreading more and ultimately save lives. While we anticipate WHO or Federal government's interventions, we need to inform everybody that per researchers,"the virus isn’t airborne. People would have to come into contact with bodily fluids including blood, sweat, vomit, urine, saliva or semen of an infected person. Patients aren’t infectious until they are sick—and even when they begin to develop symptoms, they aren’t highly infectious. The most contagious patients are those who are very sick and unlikely to be moving around much".
So let us encourage one another to seek medical help immediately if any of these early symptoms of an Ebola infection manifest. They include fever, headache, muscle aches and sore throat. At this stage, the patient is not contagious and seeking help early will save the lives of family, co-workers and loved ones. For further information, you can visit CDC's website or email Emeritus at bowa_akala@yahoo.com.
