Ebola outbreak update as experts warn ‘first line of defence’ is collapsing

Experts have warned that the current Ebola outbreak may be larger than official reports suggest. There are concerns that the first line of defence is collapsing, which could lead to a higher number of infected individuals. Furthermore, essential supply shortages are threatening to hinder the efforts of healthcare workers attempting to control the virus. These combined factors create a critical situation where the actual scale of the infection remains underestimated by current reporting metrics.
