According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 11,310 people have died of Ebola since the outbreak began in 2014. This number is based on reports from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, which were the countries most affected by the outbreak.
The number of deaths from the outbreak varies depending on the source. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a total of 28,616 cases with 11,310 fatalities, while the WHO reported a total of 28,646 cases with 11,323 deaths.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the worst in history, with more than 28,000 cases and over 11,000 deaths reported. The outbreak was first identified in Guinea in March 2014 and spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and other countries in the region. It was officially declared an international public health emergency by the WHO in August 2014.
The virus was finally declared to be under control in 2016, with the last reported case occurring in April of that year. However, the WHO is still monitoring the situation and has warned of the potential for new outbreaks.
The exact number of people who have died from Ebola is difficult to determine, as it depends on the data available from each affected country. However, the WHO estimates that over 11,000 people have died from the virus since the outbreak began.
