The death toll for the
current Ebola outbreak
has now risen above
9,000, the World
Health Organization
(WHO) has said.
The WHO stated on
Friday, February 6, that
9,004 people had died
from the disease while
22,525 confirmed cases
had been recorded.
The latest numbers
reveal the impact of the
outbreak on the worst
affected countries;
Liberia, Sierra Leone and
Guinea.
This comes as experts
recorded a new rise in
cases of the disease
after a series of unsafe
burials.
Infected corpses are
highly contagious and
unsafe burials are a
major mode of
transmission.
The Ebola outbreak has
been on the decline and
is expected to fizzle out
completely by June
2015.
