A Spanish priest who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia has died in hospital, health authorities in Madrid have confirmed. Father Miguel Pajares (75) was the first European infected by a strain of the virus that has killed more than 1,000 people in West Africa.
He was airlifted from Liberia on August 7th after becoming infected while working for a non-governmental organisation there.
He was flown to Spain for treatment with his co-worker Juliana Bohi, a nun who has since tested negative for the disease.
