World
Health Organization said that the number of Ebola cases was increasing
rapidly and could exceed 20,000 before the virus is brought under
control, as the death toll topped 1,500.
New figures showed the massive scale of the crisis, which the WHO said indicated a "rapid increase still in the intensity of transmission" that could cost at least $490 million (370 million euros) to tackle.
Bruce Aylward, the WHO's head of emergency programmes, said it could take six to nine months to bring Ebola under control, by which time the number of infections could have passed 20,000.
