But now, with USAID off-grid -- we lack the resources, where and when they are needed -- to do so. Dammit. Here's the latest, from boots on the ground reporting:
. . .The U.N. is sounding the alarm about a growing hunger crisis in eastern Congo that is exacerbated by the Ebola outbreak. In the DRC, the ongoing Ebola outbreak has recorded over 3,300 confirmed cases, including more than 1,400 deaths. According to the U.N.’s senior Ebola coordinator, 50 people died of Ebola just in the last 24 hours. This is the acting director of the World Food Programme.
Carl Skau said “Some 10 million people — I mean, 10 million people, that’s the population of Sweden, the country I come from — are acutely food insecure in the eastern DRC. And 3 million of those are in IPC-4 — as you know, emergency level of food insecurity. That is one step away from famine. That means they go to bed every night hungry. They wake up hungry every morning. . . .”
This is truly going to be near the worst Ebola outbreak, in recorded history -- because we in the US have decided to turn our collective backs on our fellow humans. Damnation.
To be clear, during the one outbreak during the Biden Administration (with USAID) -- the dying stopped at four humans. FOUR. We are over 1,400, in a few months. Ponder that -- onward.
