Ebola Deaths In West Africa Reaches 1,427 – WHO

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has
said on Friday, that the Ebola epidemic in
West Africa has led to 1,427 deaths out of
2,615 known cases .
In its latest update, the WHO reported 142 new
laboratory-confirmed, probable or suspected
cases and 77 more Ebola deaths from four
affected countries – Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria,
and Sierra Leone.
Earlier, the WHO said that the scale of the
world’s worst Ebola outbreak had been
concealed by families hiding infected loved
ones in their homes and the existence of
“shadow zones” that medics cannot enter.
It is due to issue a global strategy plan towards
the end of next week in Geneva.
