Ebola Surges Again In Liberia

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

Health officials fighting the outbreak of Ebola in Liberia have confirmed that a new wave of the virus has broken out near the Sierra Leone border.

Authorities say that dozens of new cases have been rushing into health centers and marks a huge setback to the nation, which had thought they were bringing the viral outbreak under control.

Assistant Health minister Tolbert Nyenswah said that the new cases could be connected to people traveling across the Sierra Leone border and returning home.  Sierra Leone has passed Liberia for the total number of Ebola cases.

Liberia has reported close to 3,400 deaths from Ebola and over 8,000 cases.  The World Health Organization says that Sierra Leone has now passed Liberia with 9,000 cases of the deadly virus.

Liberian officials did not say if they would take steps to block border crossings.
