Liberia has
now become a west-end where the dreaded Ebola virus now spread with lightning
speed. Reuters displays the pictures of dead Ebola victims on the road as their
relatives have started dumping infected bodies of their loved ones in the
streets of Monrovia for fear of contracting the deadly disease, defying
government order to leave the relatives at home.
Liberia's
Information Minister, Lewis Brown, told Reuters that this act is putting more
people at risk.
"They
are removing the bodies from their homes and are putting them out in the
street. They're exposing themselves to the risk of being contaminated. We're
asking people to please leave the bodies in their homes and we'll pick them
up.'
Usually when
a relative is found to be infected with the Ebola virus, government quarantines
the rest of the family. Minus catching the disease, this is another reason
relatives are dumping bodies in the street, to avoid facing quarantine, and
having their homes decontaminated. See more pics after the cut
