The number of people killed by the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa has risen to 337, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.<\/p>\n
Fourteen deaths and 47 new cases were reported across the region over the last week, it added.<\/p>\n
Guinea is worst-affected with 264 Ebola-related deaths. In Sierra Leone, there have been 49 deaths and in Liberia 24, the WHO said.<\/p>\n
