[Iran Press TV] An outbreak of the Ebola virus has killed over 1,900 people in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
"As of this week, we are reporting 3,500 cases confirmed in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia and more than 1,900 deaths -- and the outbreak is rising," WHO Director-General Margaret Chan told a news conference in Washington on Wednesday.
Chan, however, expressed hope that the disease can be contained "in six to nine months."
