What is especially pitiful is the following table which is in this eye opening report.

Sorry I cant work out how to include the image of this table, so it has been pasted....but after the description is the amount currently held in inventory (highlighted in red). The next number is the gap in current requrements, The next the 3 month projection.

Who can blame healthworkers for refusing to work when they dont have the most basic of equipment and supplies??

Re: Liberia Ebola SitRep no. 92

Based on the projected need for body bags, if the units are correct, they are expecting over 30,000 deaths over the next three months!

If I am reading the table correctly, they anticipate the need for 530 boxes (50 each) of large body bags, for a total of 26,500, and 6,000 small body bags.

Below is the updated list of shortfalls of medical supplies and PPE to treat confirmed and suspected Ebola patients in Liberia (August 18th, 2014). In this graphic the body bag need is more clearly defined. The chart indicates that the Ministry of Health could be preparing for as many as 9000 deaths in the 90 days.
