UN accuses Liberia of attributing fatalities to Ebola

Liberian officials have wrongly ascribed about 1,000 deaths in the West African country to the deadly Ebola virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. A surge in Ebola death toll, which was published by the UN organization at the weekend, arose from wrong attribution to the epidemic by Liberian authorities, the WHO assistant director general, Bruce Aylward, said on Monday. "Liberia's figures came in but they've since said these were actually non-Ebola deaths that were reported as part of our Ebola deaths and we will be taking them off. So the whole world went up and the whole world will come down again," Aylward said.
