A United Nations worker infected with Ebola has died in hospital in Germany despite intensive medical treatment.
The 56-year-old man was being treated at the St Georg hospital in the eastern German town of Leipzig after being admitted five days ago, according to local officials.


Local health officials said last week the patient was a Sudanese doctor who had arrived in Germany from Liberia.

The other, a World Health Organization employee from Uganda, is still receiving treatment in Frankfurt after contracting the virus in Sierra Leone.
The dead man, who tested positive for the virus on October 6, landed shortly after 5am last Thursday in a modified Gulfstream jet equipped with an isolation chamber, Sky News reported
