A nurse has shared her experience responding to the Ebola outbreak. She recalled seeing a tiny, pink coffin on the side of the road, which had a profound impact on her. The coffin was small enough to look like a toy, and she couldn't help but think of the child who might eventually lie in it.
The Ebola outbreak has resulted in over 6,000 confirmed cases and more than 3,000 deaths. These numbers can seem unreal, but each one represents a person with a family and a home. The nurse and her team continue to work, taking precautions such as washing their hands regularly.
Further details about the nurse's experience and the Ebola response are available from the source. The outbreak was declared over three months ago, and efforts to combat it are ongoing.
