I-United Nations World Health Organisation (WHO) imemezele namuhla ukuthi izohlangana namathimba odokotela angaphandle kwamazwe ahaqwe yi-Ebola ngesonto elizayo e-Geneva ukubona ukuthi bangasiza kanjani ezigabeni zokugcina zokulwa ukuze kwehle isibalo sabagulayo. uziro.
Khonamanjalo, uMphathi we-UN Development Programme (UNDP) uHelen Clark wafika eMonrovia, eLiberia, njengengxenye yokuvakasha kwakhe eNtshonalanga Afrika egxile ekululameni kwe-Ebola, ethi: “I-Ebola inzima kakhulu ukuyinqoba, kodwa iyashaywa eLiberia.”
Phambilini, uMiss Clark uhlangane namaqembu amaningi omphakathi eConakry, eGuinea, lapho agcizelela khona ukubaluleka kokumela umphakathi ekunqandeni ukuqubuka kwalesi sifo. Umsebenzi wakhe uzophetha ngokuvakashela eSierra Leone ekuqaleni kwesonto elizayo.

Khonamanjalo, iWorld Food Programme (WFP), igcizelele isidingo sokusekela imiphakathi uma isingenayo i-Ebola. I-WFP ihlinzeka le miphakathi ngosizo lokudla lwezinyanga ezintathu ukuze iqale kabusha indlela yayo yokuziphilisa, futhi isekela izimakethe zendawo nezomnotho ngokuthenga imikhiqizo yendawo.
I-WFP isungule ubudlelwano obusha ne-WHO ukuxhasa abasebenzi bezempilo ekufinyeleleni emacaleni ayi-zero ngokunikeza ukusekelwa kokusebenza ezindaweni ezibhekwa njengeziyi-63, ezinye ezijulile ehlathini.
E-Geneva, uDkt. Ian Norton, ophethe ithimba lezokwelapha le-WHO eNtshonalanga Afrika elibhekana ne-Ebola, utshele izintatheli ukuthi phakathi nomhlangano wezobuchwepheshe kusukela ngomhlaka-17 kuya ku-19 February, kuzodingidwa izindlela zokuthi amaqembu odokotela bakwamanye amazwe angazibandakanya kanjani nezinye izinsika ze-Ebola- impendulo, okuhlanganisa ukubhekwa kanye nokuhlanganisa umphakathi.
"Amaqembu amaningi abekulungele ukuhlala izinyanga ezimbalwa ukuze avuselele ngokuphephile izinsizakalo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo zamazwe amathathu athintekile," ngokusho kukaDkt. Norton. "Ingxenye ethile yomhlangano izobheka ukuphepha okuthuthukisiwe nokuthuthukiswa kokunakekelwa kweziguli."
Uchaze amaqembu ezokwelapha akwamanye amazwe njengabahlinzeki bemitholampilo - odokotela nabahlengikazi - abavela ngaphandle kwamazwe abadabuka kuwo beza ezweni elinesimo esiphuthumayo sezempilo.
Njengamanje bekunamathimba anjalo ezokwelapha angama-58 asebenza ezikhungweni zokwelashwa kwe-Ebola ezingama-66 ezindaweni ezinegciwane eNtshonalanga Afrika. Bahlinzekwe yizinhlangano ezingaba ngu-40 ezahlukene ezibhekene nokusabela kwe-Ebola, ngokusho kwe-WHO.
UDkt. Norton uthe amaqembu ezokwelapha angaphandle abeyingxenye "yesiteji sokulwa nomlilo" lapho ukuntuleka kwamandla emitholampilo kuphazamisa yonke impendulo.
Ubalule ukuthi manje sekugxilwe esigabeni sezempilo yomphakathi, ngenhloso yokwehlisa isibalo samacala sibe ngu-zero.
Izibalo zakamuva ze-WHO zikhombisa ukuthi babalelwa ku-23,000 abantu abahlaselwe yi-Ebola njengoba kushone abangaphezu kuka-9,200.
I-WHO iphinde yabika ukuthi naphezu kwentuthuko ekutholweni nasekuphathweni kwamacala, izinqubo zokungcwaba, nokuxhumana nomphakathi, ukwehla kwezigameko kumile.

Lesi samba, ngokusho kwe-ejensi, sizobandakanya izinyanga zokuqala eziyisithupha zohlelo oluholwa yi-UNFPA lwe-Mano River Midwifery - umzamo omusha wokubhekana ne-Ebola ozokwandisa isibalo sabasebenzi bezempilo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi abesifazane namantombazane aseminyakeni yokuzala bahlala benempilo futhi. iphephile naphezu kwenhlekelele. Izimali zizophinde zihlanganise nezindleko zokulandelela ukuthintana ukuze kuhlonzwe bonke abangase bakwazi ukuxhumana nabo abane-Ebola futhi kusize ukuvimbela izifo.
"Impendulo yethu iyaphuthuma njengoba kufanele sisindise izimpilo futhi simise ukusabalala kwe-Ebola manje," kusho uMqondisi Omkhulu we-UNFPA, uDkt.
