Thousands of men, women and children have died from Ebola in West Africa and the World Health Organisation has said that the outbreak is "unparalleled in modern times". Families travel for miles and end up sitting outside overwhelmed clinics, waiting to die, because there is no room inside. Nothing could be more wrong.
Personnel, materials and international coordination are urgently needed and the UN estimates that donors need to step up to support the international response. They have put the requirement at $1 billion, which could rise further.
The UN Security Council is holding an emergency session today and world leaders are gathering next week at the United Nations in New York. But we need these leaders to do more than just talk at these meetings. We need them to act.
Urge UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - who is hosting these meetings - to push our leaders to step up and act on Ebola now. One-click will add your name. - просто кликните и поставьте своё имя!
