Ebola death toll rises to at least 2296 : WHO

The death toll from the worst Ebola outbreak in
history has risen to at least 2,296 out of 4,293
cases in five West African countries, the World
Health Organization said today Tuesday
September 9th.
The death toll, according to WHO, jumped by
almost 200 in a single day and the figure was as
of September 6th. WHO also said it did not have
new figures for Liberia, the worst-affected country
so far, suggesting the real number is higher than
2,296
“We know that the numbers are under-
estimated. We are currently working to
estimate the under-estimation. It’s a war
against this virus. It’s a very difficult war.
What we try now is to win some battles at
least in some places.” director of WHO’s
department of pandemic and epidemic
diseases, Sylvie Briand, said today in Geneva
