The European Union will
increase financial aid for the fight against Ebola in West
Africa to one billion euros, European Council President Herman
Van Rompuy tweeted Friday.
Meanwhile in Geneva, World Health Organization (WHO)
Adjunct Director-General Marie-Paule Kieny said experimental

and 17, respectively.
The epidemic continues in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra
Leone, where the virus had killed 4,868 people and infected
