How Israel's Helping to Fight Ebola

Article; Kids: review what is Ebola and where it is impacting the world most. So far the number of people who have been infected is more than 10,000 in 8 countries, and half of them have died from the virus. Israelis are stepping in to help and have received commendation from the UN for their work fighting Ebola. The Israeli company SYS Technologies has invented an inflatable isolation tent and installed them in Guinea and elsewhere. The tents enable countries to isolate patients so others aren't infected--so far the best way to stop the spread of the virus. Kids: how might these tents help? These tents are more available than other structures, they are hermetically sealed, and protect the surroundings by creating an absolute clear and isolated patient environment. It takes about two weeks from order to delivery. They are inflated upon arrival. The company has even created an incubator-like stretcher for the safe transfer of patients into the tents. But there is more -- Israel is also helping African by providing them with an infra-red camera that measures body temperature of passengers at airports quickly so diagnoses can happen quickly.
