Ebola Affected Children, Thousands of them are now Orphane

January 20, 2015 By Marlene R. Litten

Orphane Children of West Africa

A large number of children are now orphan after the outbreak of Ebola.

Marie, a woman died with Ebola left behind two children: Mercy and Harris.  Mercy is nine years old, whereas Harris is 17 years old.  It was a terrible sight for children when health workers took the body of their mother in front of their eyes. The death of Marie sent shivers down the spines of all the villagers as well.

Sheldon Yett, a representative of UNICEF Liberia Country talked about the victims of the deadly disease.   He says that it is extremely difficult for people to believe that the lethal disease has killed their loved ones.

A large number of children are suffering from this trauma because of the death of their parents. According to the reports of BBC and New York times, Ebola has taken the parents of nearly 10,000 children.

There is no place or any kind of shelter home for these orphans. Currently, they are living under the open sky.  Even people are also afraid to provide shelter to children who have been exposed to Ebola. Hence, children felt outcast as no one is ready to own them.

As per the reports of World Health Organization (WHO), the fatal disease has killed nearly 8,594 people in West Africa. In comparison, 21,614 people are infected with Ebola.  Mostly cases emerged in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

The World Health Organization has stated that the Governments did not take up serious roles during the onslaught of the Ebola crisis which resulted in the disease’s severity. WHO further wants more power and influence in order to tackle future health emergencies, according to documents published by the agency.

WHO has been on the receiving end of severe criticism because of its slow response to the Ebola epidemic, which has killed more than 8,371 people, as of now, out of the 21,000 cases reported in the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

WHO had promised to release a full report of the Ebola crisis when the disease came under control, but has not done so as of now.

But according to documents submitted to WHO’s 34 nation Executive Board, the agency criticized the governments that had put International Health Regulations that cover public health risks and disease outbreaks at risk by closing borders and discriminating against travelers from Ebola-affected countries.

The report also said that some of the states also didn’t have the minimum standards in place in primary areas such as surveillance, preparedness and risk communication.

The agency also stated in another report that the agency should be restructured and given more power in order to tackle future health emergencies in an effective and better way.
