West African Ebola epidemic 'out of control': aid group

By Matthew Mpoke Bigg and David Lewis ACCRA/DAKAR (Reuters) - An Ebola epidemic in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone is out of control and requires massive resources from governments and aid agencies to prevent it spreading further, medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières said on Monday. In its latest report on the crisis, the U.N. World Health Organization said the regional death toll had reached 350 since February. The disease has not previously occurred in the West Africa region and local people remain frightened of it and view health facilities with suspicion. "The epidemic is out of control," said Bart Janssens, MSF director of operations.
