EBOLA OUTBREAK: SIERRA LEONE DOCTOR DIES IN US

A surgeon from Sierra Leone who was being treated for Ebola in the US has died, the hospital has announced.
Martin Salia, who has US residency and is married to an American, arrived for treatment in Nebraska on Saturday.
But on Monday morning the Nebraska Medical Center said the 44-year-old had died. He is the second person to die from the virus in the US.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in the current Ebola outbreak - almost all of them in West Africa.
"We are extremely sorry to announce that the third patient we've cared for with the Ebola virus, Dr Martin Salia, has passed away as a result of the advanced symptoms of the disease," said the hospital in a statement.
