Ebola crisis: UN's Ebola mission HQ in Ghana to close

The UN's emergency Ebola response headquarters in Ghana's capital, Accra, is to close as the outbreak slows, the BBC reports.  

The head of the mission, Peter Graaff, met the Ghanaian president to thank the country for hosting the agency since it was set up in September last year.

A small team will stay until the end of June to co-ordinate air operations, the agency, known as Unmeer, said.

Ghana has not been affected by the epidemic in West Africa, which has killed more than 11,000 people.
