The battle continues as ebola threat ‘is far from over’

It is exactly a year since the deadliest outbreak of ebola was confirmed and health experts and charities have warned the danger is far from over.

More than 10,000 have died and at least 24,000 have been infected since the epidemic broke out in Guinea in December 2013.

The three-month delay in its official recognition has been blamed for its rapid spread to neighbouring Sierra Leone and Liberia, while other west African countries such as Nigeria and Mali also suffered fatalities.
