According to Tarnue Karbbar,a worker for charity plan international based in Lofa County said ''In Boya,in northern Liberia,a man named Joseph Gbembo who caught Ebola and survived says he is struggling to raise 10 children under five years old and he is also supporting five widows after nine members of his family were killed by the virus.Fearful of catching Ebola themselves,his neighbors refused to speak with him and blamed him for bringing the virus to the village.If sufficient medication,food and water are not in place,the community will force their way out to fetch food and this could lead further spread of the virus''.To try to control the Ebola epidemic spreading through West Africa.Liberia has quarantined remote villages at the epicenter of the virus,evoking the ''Plague villagers'',shutting them off from the outside world.With few food and medical supplies,getting in,many abandoned villagers face a stark choice to stay where they are and risk death or skip quarantine.
