Ebola: Sierra Leonean patients escape Quarantine centre to look for food

It's bad enough that they have the Ebola Virus Disease, then leaving Quarantine to look for what to eat is very devastating. Aid workers in Sierra Leone have raised alarm that these set of Ebola patients are exposing other people to the virus.

Supplies are not reaching them because areas where they are to get food have been blocked and travel to some parts restricted. The Sierra Leonean Government and U.N.'s World Food Program responsible for getting food and other services to the patients maintained that many nooks and crannies in the country are being missed.

"This is a huge concern. People infected with Ebola are desperately searching for food and are in turn exposing others to the disease."

"They are jostling with people in the market and infecting others through bodily contact. We urgently have to provide food to those who need it to prevent the risk of further spread." Jeanne Kamara, the director of charity group, Christian Aid stated.
