They survived the fatal threat of the Ebola virus. But they seem to be
succumbing to a greater threat: hunger. That is the plight of orphans who
survived Ebola but lost their parents or guidance to disease in Sierra
Leone and are now starving to death amid harvest shortages and some are
being forced into the sex industry, just so they can pay for food.
.
According to Mailonline, researchers from British charity, Street Child,
warned that the situation will deteriorate if seeds are not distributed
before the rains begin this month and planting becomes possible.
.
The charity, which has already received distressing reports of children
dying due to lack of food in rural parts of the country, has estimated
there to be 12,000 orphans, many of whom are now forced to look after
themselves even in very tender ages.
.
The charity organisation has found that some children, rejected by their
friends because of the stigma of Ebola, have been frustrated and dejected
so much that they tried to commit suicide, while girls are being forced
into the sex industry to earn money to buy food.
Research team leader John Pryor said: "Many rural communities which were
under quarantine due to Ebola have lost their harvests and the people are
truly suffering. As a result, they have nothing to plant prior to the
rainy season, which is traditionally known as the hunger season.
.
"The most vulnerable, including many Ebola orphans, are dangerously hungry
already, before it has even begun. Add to this is the risk of no harvest
to look forward to and the potential consequences are awful," the report
said.
