The number of victims of the Ebola epidemic grow again in the three worst-affected African countries, surpassing 9,000 dead, the Geneva World Health Organization (WHO).
In Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone from the disease died 9004 people, according to the latest statistics from February 3, said agency Hina.
Epidemic took ten victims in Guinea, bringing the number of deaths in that country rose to 1957 in Sierra Leone, there were new fifteen victims and their number rose to 3,301th
In Liberia disease by 1 February took 3746lives and no new data after that.
Decline in the number of new patients
While the international community is organized in the fight against the epidemic, the decline of new patients in recent weeks instills hope in population.
Efforts are particularly focused on the introduction of reliable procedures for burial of the dead who are part of a good source of contamination.
But new data show that the safety measures are being implemented slowly, which has tragic consequences in Guinea, for example, where the area of the border with Ivory Coast in a buried sick die from virus infected eleven others.
