WHO: Ebola deaths oass 10,000 mark
World Health Organization
Geneva - QNA
The number of deaths from Ebola in West Africa has passed 10,000, the World Health Organization has said marking a milestone in the deadly epidemic that broke out a year ago.
Despite a sharp decline in new transmissions in the past months due to intensified international aid efforts, the Ebola virus continues to spread in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which have been devastated by the disease.
WHO reported Thursday that the number of deaths had hit 10,004 and the total number of cases stood at 24,350.
David Nabarro, UN special envoy on Ebola, has repeatedly called on countries to continue funding efforts until the number of new transmissions hit zero.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
