Brookdale resident protests Australian Government provide more aid to help fight Ebola virus

Last Friday Liberian-born Mr Varney took part in the March for ebola, along with hundreds of other people throughout Perth, to highlight the need for Federal Government assistance to fight the ebola virus.

Mr Varney has lost friends to the virus and he now fears for family members who live in Liberia and Guinea ” two of the most severely affected countries.

‘You have to go out to survive or your children don’t eat.’

The communally living environment of African families had also allowed the Ebola virus to spread easily, Mr Varney said.

The Australian Government recently decided to send medical teams to Sierra Leone, which Mr Varney acknowledged, but he said more medical resources were needed throughout the affected region, as Ebola was not isolated to one area.
