The World Health Organisation, on Tuesday, put the number of cases in Ebola outbreak within four West African countries at 2,240, including 1,229 deaths.
The WHO said it was working with the U.N.’s World Food Programme to ensure food delivery to 1 million people living in Ebola quarantine zones in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
“Food has been delivered to hospitalised patients and people under quarantine who are not able to leave their homes to purchase food. Providing regular food supplies is a potent means of limiting unnecessary movement,” the WHO said in a statement.
