DAKAR, Muharram 5, 1436, Oct 29, 2014, SPA -- The World Health Organization says the rate of Ebola cases in Liberia seems to be slowing, although experts are still examining the data to make sure it is reliable. According to AP, the country's Red Cross reported Tuesday that teams picked up far fewer bodies in the capital last week than in previous weeks, and there are many beds open in the capital's treatment centers. Bruce Aylward, the assistant director-general for WHO, said Wednesday that experts are being cautious. He said the rate of infection seems to be slowing, but cautioned that a small decline does not mean the epidemic is over. He said experts were still checking to make sure there wasn't simply a problem with cases not being reported. He said more than 13,600 people have been sickened in the outbreak. --SPA 17:46 LOCAL TIME 14:46 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
