Ebola death Toll Hits 3431
The number of deaths recorded from the Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) in Liberia has risen to 2,069, according
to the latest update by the World Health
Organisation (WHO).
In the report released on Saturday in Geneva,
Switzerland, WHO said that the casualties from the
scourge in Liberia was more than half of 3,431 total
deaths so far recorded from 7,470 cases of the
disease.
According to the report, next to Liberia is Guinea,
where the latest outbreak started in December,
2013, with 739 deaths, followed by Sierra Leone
with 623.
It stated that the three West African countries were
regarded as the epicentre of the outbreak of the
disease in the region.
“The disease has also affected, to a less extent,
Nigeria and Senegal,” it added.
The organisation, however, said that Nigeria had
largely contained the disease after 20 cases and 8
deaths, adding that Senegal had not announced a
new case after the sole case involving a Guinean.
It projected that the number of cases and fatalities
may rise in the three worse-hit West African
countries, in spite of their efforts to end “what has
now become the worst outbreak of Ebola in history.”
