Liberia Races To Expand Ebola Treatment Facilities, As U.S. Troops Arrive

MONROVIA, LIBERIA - OCTOBER 17: Comfort Swen (L), and her daughter Jessica Sompon, 17, both with fever, await health workers to escort them and Sompon's daughter Benson, 2 months, to an Ebola holding center in the West Point neighborhood on October 17, 2014 in Monrovia, Liberia. An Ebola tracing coordinator had come to take their temperatures after family member living in the home had died the day before from Ebola. The West Point holding center was re-opened this week with community support, two months after a mob overran the facility and and pulled out the patients. Many in the crowd denied the presence of Ebola in their community at the time. The World Health Organization says that more than 4,500 people have died due to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa with a 70 percent mortality rate for those infected with the virus.
