GENEVA, Switzerland – The raging Ebola outbreak has likely killed far more than the 4,818 deaths reported by the World Health Organization, an agency expert acknowledged Thursday, November 6, warning thousands of bodies were likely missing.
“There are lots of missing deaths in this epidemic,” Christopher Dye, WHO’s strategy chief, told Agence France-Presse, estimating that around 5,000 bodies could be missing from the count.
This assessment, he said, was based on the knowledge that the fatality rate in the epidemic centered in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone stands at about 70%.
