Liberia Ebola outbreak has led to a shortage of body bags in the country. Apart from the shortage of body bags, President Obama has already called up the forces of the National Guard and Reserve to help fight Ebola in West Africa. As for the survivors of the Liberia Ebola outbreak, they continue the fight but this time for acceptance within the community.
Reports by CNN state that due to the Liberia Ebola outbreak, the country has a shortage on body bags. Around 4,900 body bags have been used but there is a need for 85,000 body bags in the six months to come. In addition to the body bags, a number of other supplies that are essential in the fight against Ebola have been noted. Liberian health workers are experiencing a shortage in face masks, goggles, protective suits and gloves.
Due to the Liberia Ebola outbreak, around 2.4 million gloves are needed within the six months to follow. Hooded overalls amounting to 1.2 million are also needed. Since the Liberia Ebola outbreak, 4,493 deaths and 9,000 cases have been recorded.
With the numbers continuing to grow, President Obama has already called up the help of the National Guard and Reserve to fight the Liberia Ebola outbreak. These forces are set to help construct 17 treatment centers for Ebola of which contain 100 beds per center.
In spite of the Liberia Ebola outbreak, a number of survivors have been noted. Yet, those that survive the fight against Ebola continue to fight after the disease. A number of survivors have struggled to be accepted again within their community.
"There were some people who had doubts about me being free of this condition," stated one Ebola survivor named Koria Bonarwolo.
"I feel bad when people ignore me. But I just have to accept it," added Bonarwolo.
For those diagnosed with Ebola and those who have survived against the disease, the fight against the Liberia Ebola outbreak continues.
