Ebola disrupts Liberia birth records, poses trafficking threat-UN
By Kieran Guilbert LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – West Africa's Ebola epidemic has disrupted birth registrations in Liberia, leaving hundreds of thousands of children without citizenship and in danger of being trafficked or illegally adopted, the U.N. children&039;s agency UNICEF said on Friday. The closure of health facilities and limited health services due to the Ebola outbreak has halted Liberia&039;s progress in registering births in recent years, according to UNICEF.
