The UN health agency also warned in its announcement that 'countries are beginning to experience supply shortages, including fuel, food, and basic supplies.'
In a desperate bid to halt the disease's spread, authorities in Liberia have quarantined off a huge slum that is home to 50,000 people. Protests erupted in West Point today, where residents threw rocks at police.
