The missionary priest repatriated to Spain from Liberia earlier this month after contracting Ebola has died in the Madrid hospital where he was being treated.

Miguel Pajares, 75, had been in isolation at Madrid's Carlos III hospital since arriving in Spain on a military jet last Thursday when he became the first Ebola victim to be treated on European soil.

A hospital spokesman confirmed that he had died at 9.30 on Tuesday morning just a day after Spain's health ministry said it had obtained a course of the US-made experimental drug ZMapp over the weekend in order to treat the priest.

He was being treated with the experimental drug ZMapp.

Brother Pajares had tested positive for the viral hemorrhagic fever last Tuesday at the San Jose de Monrovia Hospital in the Liberian capital Monrovia where he had been helping to treat patients infected with the virus.

Two of his fellow workers at the hospital who tested positive at the same time have since died from the virus.

All belonged to the Order of San Juan de Dios, a Catholic humanitarian group that runs hospitals around the world, which had asked Spain to repatriate the Spanish priest and a nun who was in isolation with him.

Juliana Bohi, 65, an Equatorial Guinean nun with Spanish nationality is in isolation at the Carlos III hospital but has so far tested negative to Ebola and has yet to show symptoms.

The Spanish priest was one of only three Ebola patients thought to have received the experimental ZMapp drug. The others are two American aid workers evacuated to Atlanta, Georgia.

A panel of medical experts has determined it is ethical to provide experimental treatments to patients infected with the deadly Ebola virus, the World Health Organisation said Tuesday as the global death toll topped 1,000.

"In the particular circumstances of this outbreak, and provided certain conditions are met, the panel reached consensus that it is ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention," the UN's health agency said in a statement.

Spain buries Europe's first Ebola victim and it might be spreading to Kenya
​

• Miguel Pajares died five days after being airlifted from Liberia to Madrid
  
• Priest had been working in a Monrovia hospital treating Ebola patients
  
• Funeral service was held in chapel of Madrid's San Rafael Hospital today
  
• Sierra Leone's chief Ebola doctor has died of the disease, it has emerged
  
• Current Ebola epidemic has killed more than 1,000 people in West Africa
  
• Now World Health Organization warns Kenya is at 'high risk' of an outbreak
  
• Declaration is most serious yet that disease could spread to East Africa
  

A funeral has been held in Madrid for the Spanish missionary priest who became Ebola's first European victim as it emerged another leading physician has been claimed by the disease.

Miguel Pajares, 75, died five days after being airlifted from Liberia - where he was involved in treating patients suffering from the disease - to receive expert care in the Spanish capital.

It comes as reports emerge that the chief doctor treating Ebola in Sierra Leone, Sheik Humarr Khan, had come down with the disease but colleagues decided against giving him the treatment ZMapp. He died days later.

The current epidemic has so far killed more than 1,000 people - including several leading physicians - and has hit Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, as well as Liberia.

Now experts warn Kenya is the next country in danger of an outbreak.

The country has been placed on the World Health Organization's list of countries considered at 'high risk' of an Ebola outbreak.

Kenya is considered to be at particular risk because it is a major transport, with a large number of flights from West Africa arriving in the country every day, a WHO official said.

The warning is the most serious yet that the deadly disease could spread to East Africa.

News that Kenya is now considered at 'high risk' of an Ebola outbreak came as a top African doctor suffering from the disease had been considered for an experimental drug treatment, but did not receive it before he died.

Despite the huge number of Ebola deaths and infections in West Africa, only Mr Parajes and two Americans have so-far received an experimental anti-Ebola medication called ZMapp.

Although the drug did not save Mr Parajes' life, it has been credited with the 'miraculous' recovery of two American aid workers.

Doctors considered giving ZMapp to Sheik Humarr Khan, the chief doctor treating Ebola in Sierra Leone, but eventually decided against it, World Health Organization officials claimed.

WHO then tried to airlift Khan out of the country, but 'his condition had deteriorated too much to be transported safely' and he eventually died on July 29.

Doses of ZMapp for two Liberian doctors could arrive as soon as Wednesday in Liberia, according to Health Minister Walter Gwenigale. They would be the first Africans known to receive the treatment.

The California-based company that makes the drug, Mapp Pharmaceuticals, has said that its supplies are now exhausted, and it would take several months to make even a modest amount.

Canada announced yesterday it would donate 800 to 1,000 doses of its experimental Ebola vaccine developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada to the World Health Organization.

'The trouble is, of course, with this very, very limited number of vaccines, who would you give that to?' said Dr. Gregory Taylor, deputy head of the agency.

Meanwhile, yet another doctor in Sierra Leone, Modupeh Cole, died today, according to Sidie Yayah Tunis - director of communications for the Ministry of Health and Sanitation.

Cole, trained in the U.S. and was one of the top doctors working in the Ebola isolation ward in Connaught Hospital in Freetown, the capital.

He tested positive for the disease last week and was transferred to the eastern district of Kailahun, where Doctors Without Borders is running a treatment center.

Cole's sickness spread fear throughout the hospital where he worked, and staff there went on strike Friday and Saturday after learning that he had tested positive for the deadly disease.

They returned to work on Sunday.

Both Cole's and Khan's deaths are a major blow to Sierra Leone's health system, which is struggling to cope with the deadly outbreak.
