#EbolaResponse - undp.org/ebola Josephine Dolley survived Ebola. But it cost her dearly – 29 members of her family died including her husband and three teenage boys, Emmanuel, Augustine and Exodus. She lost her job and now raises six orphans whose parents died in the Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) along with her family. Josephine describes just how swiftly and ferociously the virus spread. It all started when her aunt’s friend died from Ebola. When her aunt returned home to the full house of Josephine’s family – she denied any contact with the dead friend. Within a week her aunt was sick. With 30 people living together, her aunt was able to hide the symptoms to a degree and everyone thought she had malaria or a fever, Josephine said. Within another week four more of her family were sick. Before a week was up the whole house was showing the symptoms of Ebola. ...Interview by Ratomir Petrovic, UNMIL Radio.
