The Ebola outbreak death toll now stands at 6928 according to World Health Organization.
The new report shows that 1239 people have died since the WHO released the last casualty figure of 5,689 on Wednesday, November 26.
The UN agency did not offer any explanation for the rapid increase in cases at a time when it was believed that the worst of the outbreak was almost over.
More than 16,000 cases of the disease have also been recorded with the bulk of infections and deaths occurring in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
