"Four months ago, I lost Senior Lahai. He was six months old and was suffering from a runny stomach and an increase in body temperature. He was really sick, he did not even take bad milk and he died. My heart was broken. My baby was strong. He was able to sit on his own and was just beginning to train to crawl and reach objects. He laughed a lot when I played with him, I applauded and danced. I have a happy time when he started to sit all alone and learn to crawl. Happy moments make a mother happier. At the moment I remember most of Lahai, it's when he was badfeeding and playing with my neck and my chin with his hand. I look to the future and I hope that such things will not happen again and that God will give me children who stay with me "

I did not like doing the transformation part, so I decided to climb trees to harvest. Climbing in the trees is very difficult. Sometimes you may be faced with a snake as you climb, you see one and it will whistle to you. If you are not strong, you will fall from the tree and die! I'm just doing it for necessity.

"I do not think we've ever faced so much urgency at the same time," said Michael Ryan, WHO's chief of emergency, BBC.
He told the broadcaster that WHO was monitoring 160 cases of disease worldwide, nine of them at the highest level of emergency.
"It's a new normal, I do not think the frequency of these events is decreasing," he said.
At least 1,367 people have died from Ebola in the DRC, while 552 people have recovered, but the WHO said it could miss a quarter of cases in eastern Congo. .
Ryan said violent unrest in the area could prevent detection.
"We think that, in my opinion, be very careful, we probably detect more than 75% of cases – we may miss up to a quarter of cases," he said at a conference of press in Geneva.
"We need to detect cases earlier, have a more comprehensive identification of contacts."
The WHO was forced to temporarily stop its response activities in April 2019 after Richard Mouzoko Kiboung, an epidemiologist, was killed during the attack on a hospital by armed militias.
Ryan said that on average, 88 new confirmed cases were confirmed each week in the past two weeks, compared to 126 cases diagnosed weekly in April 2019.
The epidemic is the second largest in history (chart ebola 1)
Medical staff working in the DRC have been attacked by locals who are suspicious of foreigners and government officials.
Many people are afraid to go to Ebola treatment centers, preferring to stay home and risk transmitting the virus disease to their family and neighbors.
Others think that the disease is spreading by design or that its existence is a lie.
Mr Ryan said the situation was "extremely volatile" and that the WHO feared further violence in the DRC.
Officials find it difficult to track the spread of the disease due to population movements, as patients often travel far from home for treatment.
"Health Research Behavior [is one of the] the main factors of the epidemic, "he said.
Mr Ryan said that the Ebola outbreak was not under control and that it was spreading rapidly in some areas, especially in the rural area of Mabalako.

"It is more important than ever that we master this epidemic," said Rory Stewart, Britain's Minister for International Development, in response to the new figures.
"The UK continues to be at the forefront of the response, but it must be part of a global effort that others will support."
"This epidemic is potentially devastating for the region. It could spread easily to neighboring provinces and even to neighboring countries. "
The 2014-2016 epidemic in West Africa, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, which killed more than 11,000 people, is the worst epidemic ever recorded.
