They are in isolation as they try to battle the virus, which causes people to bleed internally and from the skin and kills 90 per cent of victims

Nearly 700 people have been killed by the virus in West Africa

The American doctor diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia says he will have no regrets if he cannot be saved, a friend revealed today.

Kent Smith, an elder at the South Central Alliance Churches in Fort Worth, Texas, where Kent Brantly and his wife Amber worship, told MailOnline that the doctor has been frank with friends.

'God's going to deliver me from this but even if he doesn't I have lived my life for him and I have no regrets,' he has said, Mr Smith told MailOnline.

Dr Brantly, a 33-year-old father of two, is one of two Americans fighting for their lives. Married missionary Nancy Writebol, from Charlotte, North Carolina, is also fighting for her life at a Liberian hospital as the continent struggles against the worst ever outbreak in history.
