Another United Nations staff member in Sierra Leone has
died from Ebola, according to the UN spokesman, Stephane
Dujarric on Monday.
He is said to be the third UN employee to succumb to the
deadly virus.
The man, who was a driver for the UN Women agency,
passed away at the weekend in Sierra Leone and his
spouse is currently receiving treatment.
“All measures to protect staff at the duty station in Sierra
Leone are being taken as best as possible under the current
circumstances,” said Dujarric.
The world’s worst Ebola outbreak has killed at least 4,500
people in West Africa where the United Nations is leading
an effort to beat back the virus with a massive influx of
aid.
