The UN health agency said the country, worst hit with almost 1100 deaths, faced thousands of new infections in the next three weeks. WHO and its director-general (Margaret Chan) will continue to advocate for more Ebola treatment beds in Liberia and elsewhere and will hold the world accountable for responding to this dire emergency with its unprecedented dimensions of human suffering, it said. The deadliest Ebola epidemic the world has ever seen is spreading across west Africa, with Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone the worst affected. As of Sunday, 2288 people had died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia out of 4269 cases, the agency said, pointing out that 47% of the deaths and 49% of the cases had come in the past 21 days. Another eight people have died in Nigeria out of 21 cases, while another Ebola case has been confirmed in Senegal.
