We must pay closer attention to the health crisis blooming right before our eyes. This is to say, the health of ALL citizens in Monrovia health could be severely affected by the piles of trash throughout the city. Please understand it’s not only areas that have these mountains of garbage that are affected but everyone breathing the air. The growing incidents of Typhoid is proof of this because the air and water are polluted and very contaminated from trash being thrown in drainages that have not been cleaned since the 1970's, on the streets or in the river.
Typhoid is only the tip of the iceberg, continued exposure can cause tuberculosis, bronchitis, respiratory problems, it affects a woman's ability to give birth and cause many more cases of illnesses in children. Moreover, unattended waste attract roaches, rodents, maggots, or pigeons, which in turn transmit a wide variety of different diseases they infect people with.
When we say Liberia has a growing health crisis this is not hyperbole but a call to action now. We believe human life can be protected by preserving our environment. Take the Du River, not only is the shore chock full of trash, but the very river itself is choked with trash. Read more...
