2014: An Ebola outbreak with initially 34 deaths is reported in Guinea, West Africa. After more than 100 people died from the outbreak caused by a new virus strain and isolated cases appeared in Liberia, the government of Guinea declared in mid-April that it had the epidemic under control. Far too early: cases were reported in Sierra Leone at the end of May, and a week later more than 200 deaths in Guinea. At the end of June, Doctors Without Borders emphasized that the virus was out of control in West Africa. Liberia and Sierra Leone are massively affected by the epidemic, and the first cases were also registered in Nigeria in the summer. The virus also occasionally occurs among helpers from Western countries. At the beginning of August, the WHO also confirmed that the virus was out of control. Counter-strategies are agreed at international conferences, and millions in aid commitments come from the WHO and the World Bank, among others. Several West African countries, including Nigeria, have declared a national emergency.
