Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said Ebola has killed more than 2,000 people in her country and has brought it to 'a standstill,' noting that Liberia and two other badly hit countries were already weakened by years of war, AP reported.
Appealing for more international help, Sirleaf described the devastating effects of Ebola in a 'Letter to the World' that was broadcast Sunday by the BBC.
'Across West Africa, a generation of young people risk being lost to an economic catastrophe as harvests are missed, markets are shut and borders are closed,' the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said. 'The virus has been able to spread so rapidly because of the insufficient strength of the emergency, medical and military services that remain under-resourced.'
