Junior doctors in Sierra Leone went on strike on Monday to demand better treatment for health workers infected with Ebola.

The association representing junior doctors asked the government to make sure life-saving equipment was available to treat infected doctors.

The government has claimed that a new fully equipped unit is opening soon. But junior doctors distrust the claims.

Ten of the 11 Sierra Leonean doctors who have become infected have died. Ebola has killed more than 6,300 people, including hundreds of health workers.

Throughout the outbreak healthcare workers have periodically gone on strike to demand better protection or higher pay.

The Save the Children charity, which is running its first treatment centre in Sierra Leone, has been criticised for its slow start.

But the charity said it stepped in at the Kerry Town centre when no-one else would and 40 of 80 beds are now open.
