Recently a health Journal published the story of a 12 year old girl Najla from Gaza strip, who is one among the 'fortunate ' survivors of the Gaza War. She was examined by a Psychologist for behavioral problems and recurring abdominal pains: "Najla witnessed a range of traumatic events, such as the beating and killing of a friend, the shooting of a close relative, her father's arrest and imprisonment for 2 years, the arrest of another friend, tear gas inhalation, closure and demolition of a friend's home." The children who are destined to live in the deadliest period in Gaza are facing serious illnesses both physically and mentally. “Most of them have symptoms of PSTD [Post traumatic stress disorder ] “experts says.Another major issue is that this is not confined to the nearly eight lakh children community of Gaza ,but to the millions of children who watch the horror of war and mutilated bodies on television. As UN reports,”Gaza is now a land ,where an estimated 460,000 people have been displaced and are now living in overcrowded conditions in schools, with relatives or in makeshift shelters. This, coupled with lack of inadequate water and sanitation, poses serious risks of outbreak of waterborne and communicable diseases.”
No ceasefire can cure the wounds of Gaza.

Recently scientist claim to discover a vaccine that prevents the notorious Ebola virus which was made headlines by the acts of ruination in the western part of Africa. Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. This virus seemed to be transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. Symptoms of EVD are characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes.
The deadly Ebola first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks in the Western parts of Africa.Earlier there were no licensed vaccines for EVD. Several vaccines are being tested, but none are available for clinical use. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. Patients are frequently dehydrated and require oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids.Close physical contact with Ebola patients should be avoided. Human-to-human transmission of the Ebola virus is primarily associated with direct or indirect contact with blood and body fluids.
