Liberian hospitals are denying patients with symptoms of Ebola treatment in their overcrowded hospitals, often putting them on a three-day waiting list.
The virus that killed over 2,200 so far has the highest number of cases and deaths in Liberia, according to the World Health Organization.
There are three treatment centers for the Ebola virus in Liberia, all of which are nearly full. Since there are so many people suffering from the virus, the treatment centers are only accepting the victims with the worst symptoms, The Washington Post reports.
Sophie-Jane Madden, a spokeswoman for the Doctors Without Borders center, tells The Post that 7 in 10 are dying inside the treatment centers, which are slightly better odds than the 9 in 10 who are dying in the community.
Doctors Without Borders is working to increase the amount of beds and staff in their Ebola treatment center, Madden added.
The virus is hitting Liberia so severely that some suggest it may completely wipe out the state's population.
"Liberia is facing a serious threat to its national existence," Brownie Samukai, Liberia's defense minister, told the U.N. Security Council. "The deadly Ebola virus has caused a disruption of the normal functioning of our state."
