The deadly Ebola virus is getting worse Africa. More and more people are getting affected. So far, 763 people have the virus, and 468 these have died. The United Nations said it is the biggest and deadliest Ebola outbreak the world has ever seen. Most the deaths have been Guinea. This is where the outbreak started. People have also died neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone. Health ministers African countries are getting increasingly worried the outbreak. Ministers 11 countries are meeting Accra, the capital city Ghana. They will talk what they can do to control the situation. They want to stop more people dying.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said "drastic" action was needed to stop the virus spreading across Africa. WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein told reporters the organization was trying to get all countries to work together. He said if everyone helps, "we can get a grip and halt this outbreak". He said this was important because strong trading links African countries means the virus could easily spread. He said: "We need a strong response, especially the shared border areas where commercial and social activities continue Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. That's unlikely to stop." Ebola kills to 90 per cent people who get infected. There is no vaccine or cure it.
