What is now known as the world’s largest Ebola outbreak in history just got worse.
According to the latest statistics released Oct. 25 by the World Health Organization, the number of Ebola cases has now crossed the 10,000 mark, with nearly 5,000 recorded deaths.
As countries and organizations scramble to find ways to control the Ebola crisis, the international community continues to face mounting criticism about the slowness of its assistance to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone — the three countries most badly hit by the deadly virus.
