"British Troops Shouldn't Leave Sierra Leone Until Ebola Is Gone"

An international medical charity says British troops should not leave Sierra Leone until the job of wiping out the Ebola virus is complete.
 
At the peak of the epidemic, more than 800 British troops were deployed on Operation Gritrock - but that number has now dropped to around 60.
 
The "doctors without borders" charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres‎, says if UK troops left, it would send a dire message that the threat from the virus is over, which it says is not the case.
