Ebola update: Ebola death toll rises to at least 2,296: 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 yesterday 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 yesterday in Geneva
