Ebola epidemic is bad, strange disease outbreaks in Congo

The Republic of Congo warns of strange diseases that are killing many people. WHO says the Ebola epidemic continues to worsen in West Africa.

According to AFP, the Congo Ministry of Health announced an unknown hemorrhagic disease that claimed the lives of 13 people in the country. Disease outbreaks from August 11.'All 13 people have high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and when they are about to die, vomit a black fluid' - a representative of the Ministry of Health said.

Currently the Republic of Congo authorities have isolated 80 other people who have had contact with victims.

Meanwhile, AFP said expert David Nabarro WHO representative said to be prepared to deal with the risk of Ebola outbreaks continue to "flare up" in West Africa.

The Red Cross said the turmoil is also taking place in Liberia. The cremation area of ​​the capital Monrovia fell into a state of overcrowding as dozens of bodies were infected with Ebola every day.

"Cremation officers have to transfer their bodies to a hospital in the city because they cannot cremate all the victims," ​​said a Liberia official. Earlier violence also occurred in the West Point slums in Monrovia because people protested against quarantine.

WHO said that in the last two days alone, 106 victims died from the Ebola virus, mainly in Liberia. The total number of deaths has increased to 1,350 people. Senegal closed the border with Guinea yesterday, where 396 people were killed by the Ebola virus.

South Africa also recently banned travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. WHO investigated and identified a pandemic in Nigeria from a single individual who was killed in July in Lagos by a Liberian-American. Many other Nigerian victims have contacted him.

In Sierra Leone, where 374 people died, the epidemic also broke out from an individual who called himself a "miracle" in Sokoma village on the eastern border. However, there is also some positive information.

Yesterday both US health workers Kent Brantly, 33, and Nancy Writebol, 60, once infected with Ebola in Monrovia, were both discharged from the US. Both were treated with ZMapp experimental drugs. Three other doctors treated with ZMapp in Liberia are also recovering.
