The number of people to have died in the worst outbreak of the Ebola virus in history has risen to at least 932, according to the World Health Organization. Between August 2 and 4 this year, 45 people died of the disease in West Africa and the number of cases in the region rose by 108.
The figures, reported in a WHO statement on Wednesday, didn’t include additional deaths and cases that have been attributed to Ebola since. They include a man in Saudi Arabia who was suspected to have Ebola and died Wednesday morning when his heart stopped and attempts to resuscitate him failed, the Saudi Ministry of Health said.
