Ebola outbreak: UN health worker dies in Germany hospital

A UN employee infected with Ebola has died at a hospital in Germany.

Doctors at the hospital in Leipzig said the man, 56, died despite receiving experimental drugs to treat the virus.

The man had been working as a UN medical official in Liberia - one of the worst affected countries - when he caught Ebola.

He was the second member of the UN team in Liberia to die from the virus, the BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin says. The patient, who is yet to be identified, was reportedly Sudanese. He was the third Ebola patient to be treated for the deadly virus in Germany after contracting the disease in the outbreak zone in West Africa.

One patient - a Ugandan doctor infected in Sierra Leone - is still receiving treatment in a hospital in Frankfurt, while a Senegalese aid worker was released from a hospital in Hamburg after five weeks of treatment.

And if they are.....bigger questions arise.
