The Ebola virus has cost nearly eight thousand people died, but this year there will be an end to the outbreak. “We are engaged in an epic battle.”
Anthony Banbury, departing head of the UN mission that fights against Ebola, told BBC News that the number of Ebola cases at the end of this year will be reduced to zero.
Mission
Most Ebola deaths in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, where the virus began to spread in December 2013. Banbury says that during the mission failed to carry out 100 percent secure funerals and treatments.
That makes Ebola so difficult to stop. “You get sick if you take care of someone who is sick or if you bury someone who is deceased to Ebola.” He speaks to fight his appreciation for the efforts of countries to Ebola.
“The international response to the Ebola virus has been extremely successful,” said Banbury. “It will be difficult to reduce the number of cases to 0, but that’s what we’ll do. I believe that we end Ebola in 2015.
The World Health Organization announced earlier this week that the number of people infected with the virus has risen to over 20,000. More than one third of these cases, in Sierra Leone, the country most affected by the outbreak.
