The World Health Organization (WHO) now expect the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has claimed more than 10,000 lives. According to the UN organization, the three most severely vulnerable countries - Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia - a total registered 24,350 cases of the disease, and 10,004 people died.
Other known deaths, eight in Nigeria, six in Mali and one in the United States.

It's over a year since the first cases were detected in the current epidemic.
Since health care in the countries concerned have been hard-pressed, and among other things, have difficulty doing vaccination, fear is now a wave of measles, according to a study in the scientific journal Science.

Thoughts and prayers.
