A picture taken on August 19, 2014 in Monrovia show an Ebola information billboard displayed near the John F Kennedy memorial medical centre where 17 Ebola patients, who had fled an attack on their clinic, were transferred to. Their disappearance had raised fears of a nightmare scenario of people with the highly contagious disease wandering the city where unburied corpses have lain abandoned in the streets. Heavily-armed Liberian soldiers and police surrounded an Ebola-hit neighbourhood of the capital Monrovia on August 20 after a curfew was declared, triggering fury among the trapped local residents. Four residents of a quarantined Monrovia Ebola-hit slum in were injured on in clashes with police and soldiers sent in to seal off the area. The World Health Organization, on August 19, said the tropical virus had killed 84 people in just three days, a surge that has pushed the overall death toll from the west African outbreak to 1,229.
