The British nurse who survived Ebola has criticised the international response to the crisis as being 'woefully slow', after returning to help treat victims in Sierra Leone. The 29-year-old, from Eyke, Suffolk, said arriving back to the country where he contracted the deadly disease, he was left shocked at 'seeing so many dead people'. He returned to West Africa last month, and is treating patients in an Ebola isolation unit run by UK medical staff in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone - one of the three countries worst hit by the epidemic. The outbreak has killed almost 5,200 people, almost all in West Africa, according to the World Health Organisation.
