A Spanish missionary¹ who contracted the Ebola virus while working in West Africa has died in hospital in Madrid.

一位西班牙传教士在西非工作时感染埃博拉病毒，不久前死于马德里一家医院。

Miguel Pajares worked at a hospital in the Liberian capital

More than 1,000 people have died in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since the outbreak was first reported in February.

Miguel Pajares, 75, was airlifted back to Spain from Liberia last week with a nun² who tested negative for the virus.

For the past few days he had been treated with an untested, experimental drug, Zmapp.

A World Health Organization (WHO) panel in Geneva has meanwhile approved the ethics³ of using ZMapp.

According to the Reuters news agency, the panel said it was ethical⁴ to combat the Ebola outbreak by offering drugs or vaccines⁵ whose side-effects and efficacy had yet to be proven.

The priest was part of a Catholic order at St Joseph's hospital in the Liberian capital, Monrovia.

The hospital has now been closed because of the outbreak.

A Congolese nun died there on Saturday, days after its director, Patrick Nshamdze, also died.
