Shunned by their families, evicted from their homes and paid next to nothing
- Nurses treating Ebola victims are routinely thrown out of rented homes
- In Sierra Leone, many are shunned by their terrified friends and families
- 57 per cent of medics treating Ebola have succumbed to the disease
- Liberia and Sierra Leone are the countries worst hit by the epidemic
The women’s
staff room at Hastings Ebola Treatment Center in Western Rural Area,
Sierra Leone, is cramped, stuffy and hot from the sunlight flooding

they will go to the Yellow Zone, pull on their Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and go back to the wards - the Red Zone.
