The UN Health Agency warned many more people could die if the response isn't stepped up. The official death toll¹ has risen to over 4,400, although the true number is likely to be higher. And WHO Assistant Director-General Dr. Bruce Aylward says the rate of infection is expected to increase.

联合国卫生组织发出警示：如果不增加应对措施，会有更多的人将死于埃博拉感染。官方公布的死亡数据已超过了4,400人，而真实数据可能更高。世界卫生组织助理总干事布鲁斯·艾伟德博士称，感染率预计将升高。

(Dr. Aylward) "We went out to 60 days with some of the projections² that we've been doing in terms of case numbers… we anticipate that the number of cases per week by that time is going to be somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 a week."

艾伟德博士说：“60天以来，我们一直在预测感染人数……我们预测每周感染人数在5千到1万之间。”

The death rate from the disease is now a worrying 70%.
