Abandoned Ebola Orphans Get Christmas Food and More from Charity

Here the family are pictured with food and toys provided by MailOnline and Street Child. Clockwise from top left is Odell, 17, Daniel, five months, Chancy, 15, Otis, 8, and Josiah, 5

An estimate of about 42,000 children are left orphan by the dead Ebola virus that have claimed the lives of 7,518 people in West Africa.
Most of those children are been left to suffer without the Government of Liberia paying any interest to their plight, despite its promise to international communities,but thank to Mail online that discovered a group of three families of orphans, in the slums of Monrovia,that had nothing for the Christmas,with combine effort with British charity Street Child, the three group of orphans received staple food items toys so that they don't miss out in the celebration,
The charity also promised a continuous support for the surviving family members to boost their business to give a hand to the teen orphans
