Medecins Sans Frontieres has confirmed that there has been a significant reduction in the number of new Ebola cases in Liberia.

MSF has said that one of its treatment centres in the country currently has no cases. However, MSF warned that the virus was still on the rise in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Nearly 5,000 people have been killed by Ebola, of a total of about 14,000 cases.

Liberia has seen the most deaths of all the West African countries affected by this current outbreak, however the health ministry has said one third of its treatment centre beds are currently empty.
