August 30, 2014 (Please also see our web site at> WWW.AFRICANDISABILITYFOUNDATION.ORG UPDATE ON THE EBOLA OUTBREAK IN LIBERIA: AS OF THIS MORNING THE CONFINEMENT OF THE THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS IN THE WEST POINT SLUM HAS BEEN LIFTED BY THE PRESIDENT ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF AND ONLY A FEW POLICE STAND GUARD. THE LIFTING OF THE CURFEW FOR ONLY WEST POINT ALLOWS ALL CITIZENS TO COME AND GO IN AND OUT OF THE AREA WHICH DOES NOT SEEM LIKE GREAT NEWS AS IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MANY IN WEST POINT WERE INFECTED WITH THE EBOLA VIRUS. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THE BURIAL TEAMS ARE NOT CREMATING BODIES EXCEPT IN THE INDIAN POPUATION . LIBERIANS ARE BEING BURIED IN SHALLOW GRAVES AT NIGHT SO THAT RESIDENTS ARE UNAWARE. THE GRAVES ARE SO SHALLOW THAT NOW PACKS OF DOGS ARE FEEDING ON THE REMAINS OF THE EBOLA PATIENTS. IT IS NOW HIGHLY SUSPECTED THAT THE DOGS WILL NOT DIE BUT WILL BECOME FURTHER SOURCES OF THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE IF THEY LICK OF BITE A PERSON. THE CURFEW AT WEST POINT WAS LIFTED AGAINST THE ADVICE OF ALL HEALTH TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY AND BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WAS COMING UNDER CRITICISM THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE EBOLA CRISIS. THE NUMBER OF CASES INCREASES BY THE DAY AND THIS PAST WEEK WAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF EBOLA DEATHS REPORTED IN LIBERIA. WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE BEING HANDLED, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE EPIDEMIC WILL REACH 20,000 OR MORE. THE VIRUS IS ALSO MUTATING AT A RAPID RATE QUESTIONING WHETHER THE SERUM THAT IS BEING PREPARED WILL EVEN BE EFFECTIVE. MANY OF THE POOR IN THE VILLAGES ARE STARVING TO DEATH AND CHECKPOINTS SET UP THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE NOT ALLOWING US TO DISTRIBUTE WHAT LITTLE EXTRA FOOD WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND THE GOVERNMENT IS MAKING NO ATTEMPT TO FEED ITS CITIZENS. PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF THEM AND IF YOU CAN DONATE ANYTHING PLEASE DO IT THROUGH OUR ONLINE STORE ON THE WEB SITE. TO ALL OUR DISABLED----PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS+++++STAY INDOORS AND KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS ,PRAYERS AND SACRIFICES. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND NEVER FORGET THAT HE IS WITH ALL OF YOU THROUGH THIS CRISIS. WE LOVE EACH OF YOU SO MUCH AND WE ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH. WITH GOD YOU WILL ALL LIVE THROUGH THIS . GOD BLESS+
