The West African country’s health officials in Sierra Leone said on the 10th that Kono, the country’s main diamond producing area, was hit hard by Ebola, and the severity of the epidemic was far beyond imagination. According to the latest data released by the World Health Organization, Sierra Leone has replaced Liberia as the country with the largest number of Ebola cases. The WHO issued a statement on the 10th that the Ebola epidemic in the Kono area of ​​Sierra Leone has deteriorated drastically and that the WHO has sent an emergency team to the area for rescue.
"horror scene"
Located in the eastern part of Sierra Leone, Kono is one of the country's leading diamond producing regions. In February of this year, a local giant diamond weighing about 153 carats was produced, worth about 6.2 million US dollars.
The medical staff of the WHO emergency response team found that the local epidemic was far more serious than imagined, and dozens of remains were waiting in the hospital for treatment. The statement said: "They saw a scene of horror. In 11 days, the medical staff was divided into two teams to bury 87 bodies. These included a nurse, an ambulance driver and a help to lift the body. The guard."
Before the emergency team arrived, 25 people had died within 5 days. Medical staff found that eight of the 15 tribes in the Kono area had an Ebola outbreak.
David, Special Envoy for the United Nations Ebola Virus. Nabarro warned on the 9th that the Ebola epidemic is still spreading rapidly in western Sierra Leone and the forest areas of Guinea, and is in need of help from foreign medical workers. Nabarro admits that it is imperative to curb the epidemic and not to let go.
"tip of the iceberg"
According to official statistics in Sierra Leone, there are 119 Ebola cases among the approximately 350,000 residents in the Kono area. But health officials in the country worry that the data underestimated the severity of the epidemic.
Amara, Director of the Sierra Leone Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Jambai said: "We only see the tip of the iceberg."
According to the latest WHO epidemic data, 17,800 cases of suspected or confirmed Ebola cases were found in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, and the number of deaths was 6,331. Among them, the number of cases in Sierra Leone reached 7897, replacing Liberia as the first major disaster area of ​​the Ebola epidemic.
However, in terms of the number of deaths, Sierra Leone is 1,768, which is much lower than the 3,177 in Liberia. This raises concerns that the death statistics in Sierra Leone have failed to reflect the actual situation.
