The head of the United Nations Ebola mission has said that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa will be over by August this year.

According to BBC, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed accepted that the UN had made mistakes in its response to the Ebola outbreak and acted "arrogantly".

The Ebola epidemic has killed more than 10,000 people after it was declared a year ago.

The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said that the tragic consequences were due to a "global coalition of inaction".

The Charity suggested that their initial calls for help were ignored by local governments and World Health Organization.
