Ebola Won: As Spain buries its first Ebola victim

A funeral has been held in Madrid for the Spanish missionary priest who became Ebola's first European victim as it emerged another leading physician has been claimed by the disease.

Miguel Pajares, 75, died five days after being airlifted from Liberia - where he was involved in treating patients suffering from the disease - to receive expert care in the Spanish capital.

It comes as reports emerge that the chief doctor treating Ebola in Sierra Leone, Sheik Humarr Khan, had come down with the disease but colleagues decided against giving him the treatment ZMapp. He died days later.

The current epidemic has so far killed more than 1,000 people - including several leading physicians - and has hit Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, as well as Liberia.

Now experts warn Kenya is the next country in danger of an outbreak.

The country has been placed on the World Health Organization's list of countries considered at 'high risk' of an Ebola outbreak.

Kenya is considered to be at particular risk because it is a major transport, with a large number of flights from West Africa arriving in the country every day, a WHO official said.

The warning is the most serious yet that the deadly disease could spread to East Africa.

News that Kenya is now considered at 'high risk' of an Ebola outbreak came as a top African doctor suffering from the disease had been considered for an experimental drug treatment, but did not receive it before he died.

Despite the huge number of Ebola deaths and infections in West Africa, only Mr Parajes and two Americans have so-far received an experimental anti-Ebola medication called ZMapp.

Although the drug did not save Mr Parajes' life, it has been credited with the 'miraculous' recovery of two American aid workers.
