Panic is spreading across an African community after reports
that two Ebola victims have risen from the dead. The victims, both females in
their 40s and 60s, died of the deadly virus in separate communities in Nimba
County, Liberia. But according to reports in a local newspaper, the pair have
reportedly been resurrected and are now walking among the living, causing panic
and fear among locals.
The New Dawn Nimba County said the late Dorris Quoi of
Hope Village Community and the second victim identified as Ma Kebeh, in her
late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they rose from the dead. Ma
Kebeh had been indoors for two nights without food and medication before her
alleged death. Nimba County has recently reported unusual news of Ebola cases,
including one about a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could
cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week. Since the Ebola
outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims
resurrecting, the paper said. The Ebola outbreak has already killed around
2,800 people in five West African countries this year while an estimated 5,800
people have been infected with the virus, which has no known cure. America’s
respected Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has predicted there could
be up to 1.4million cases of deadly Ebola by the end of January. The CDC, which
successfully treated two US doctors infected with the disease, released the
worrying report based on assumptions that cases have been dramatically under
reported. The Centre’s scientists believe there may be as many as 21,000
reported and unreported cases in just Liberia and Sierra Leone alone by the end
of this month. The World Health Organisation has already warned the number of
people infected with the Ebola could reach 20,000 by the beginning of November
if steps to contain the outbreak are not accelerated
