W.H.O. Asks for Help Fighting Growing Ebola Outbreak

The W.H.O. said in a statement that it has mobilized $1.75 million to combat the Ebola outbreak, which was declared on June 1, but that will only last a few more weeks. She called for additional funding to help with vaccinations, testing, contact tracing, treatment and health education.

Another Ebola outbreak in the east of the country was declared over on June 25 after two years and 2,280 deaths.

Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of the W.H.O.’s emergency health program, who has worked extensively on Ebola, said on Monday that as of July 12 there were 17 deaths from confirmed Ebola cases and three more from suspected cases.

He said that while the numbers may appear low, the threat of spread is worrisome, especially because of the extreme logistical problems for health care workers to access remote, affected communities.
