All quiet in southern Israel, Gaza since midnight
All’s quiet along Israel’s southern border, with no reports of rocket fire or sirens since midnight. There are also no reports of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.
While international media attention has focused on the unrelenting conflict between Israel and Hamas in recent weeks, the outbreak of incurable Ebola virus in West Africa has not slowed. According to AFP, two Americans helping treat the deadly hemorrhagic fever in Liberia are contaminated and hospitalized.
The World Health Organization says Ebola outbreaks have a fatality rate of up to 90 percent. In the past several months of this latest outbreak there have been 1,093 reported cases in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Guinea. A reported 660 people have died, the WHO says.
