Ebola virus: Number of people killed by deadly disease could go higher than 20,000

Aug 28, 2014 11:57 By Richard Hartley-Parkinson

In Geneva, the agency also released a new plan for handling the Ebola crisis that aims to stop transmission in affected countries within six to nine months and prevent it from spreading internationally.

World Health Organization (WHO) Assistant Director General Bruce Aylward speaks during a press briefing on WHO's strategy to combat Ebola, at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva

Dr Bruce Aylward, WHO's assistant director-general, said the plan would cost 489 million US dollars (£294 million) over the next nine months and require the assistance of 750 international workers and 12,000 national workers.

The 20,000 figure, he added, "is a scale that I think has not ever been anticipated in terms of an Ebola outbreak".
