DAKAR, Senegal – The World Health Organization says the number of people sickened with Ebola has passed 16,000.
The data shows that the death toll in the epidemic is nearing 7,000.
The world's largest-ever Ebola outbreak is battering the three West
African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Data released
late Friday by the U.N. health agency showed that there have been 16,169
cases in those three countries. There have also been around three dozen
cases elsewhere.
Liberia has recorded the highest number of cases and deaths, but the
rate of infection is slowing there. The disease is now spreading fastest
in Sierra Leone.
