More terrifying photos showing the state of Ebola victims in Liberia have surfaced online.
The next photos you’ll be looking at below are those of her mother crying with the children of the dead woman, her grandchildren crying beside her. Her sister is wailing inconsolably knowing full well that her dead sister will be burnt to ashes as is the procedure for Ebola victims. Even her husband weeps inconsolably.
The family insists the lady did not die of Ebola but from a year-long protracted illness. Liberian health authorities are not taking chances because most grieving relatives have been known to lie about cause of death so that the corpse of their loved ones will escape being burnt.
According to WHO, the death toll in Liberia
from the Ebola Virus outbreak has risen to 4,033. Do not forget that a
terrible civil war claimed the lives of Liberians for about two decades.
Just when the country was picking up its pieces, Ebola knock at their
door to claim even more lives.
Let’s lend our supports to Liberia, remember that it could be any one....
A woman crawls toward the body of her sister as an Ebola burial team takes it away for cremation.
The dead
woman was a market vendor, who collapsed and died outside her home in
Monrovia, Liberia, while leaving to walk to a treatment center,
according to her relatives. Above, her sister is seen grieving on the
ground following the burial team’s departure.

weep as her daughter’s remains are removed for cremation on Saturday.
In
this image, her husband, Varney Jonson, 46, is seen crying out in pain
as crews – donning white overalls, gloves and goggles – transport the
body of his wife, Nama Fambule, to a crematorium following a year-long
illness that he insists was not Ebola-related.
As
the proper burial of loved ones is so important in Liberian culture,
the removal of infected bodies for incineration is all the more
traumatic for surviving family members. Many relatives attempt to
convince burial teams to leave the bodies behind.
