Number of Ebola cases pass 10,000: WHO

The number of confirmed cases of ebola has surpassed 10,000 WHO officials say. The virus has so far claimed more than 5.000 lives. However, they warned that this number may be inaccurate, as it may be higher.

.The WHO fears that many people in the poorest parts of Africa are refusing to come forward for treatment because they are scared. In addition, the WHO complained that there are not enough laboratory capacity to handle the large volume of potentially infected blood samples. This backlog could also lead to an under reporting of the outbreak. Dailymail
