U.N. and Medical Group Make Appeals for Ebola Aid

The United Nations and the medical aid group Doctors Without Borders each issued urgent appeals on Tuesday for international aid to contain the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Senior United Nations officials urged diplomats to cable their capitals to send money, doctors and protective gear to the affected region. The doctors’ group called for countries to send civilian and military biohazard experts.
Jan Eliasson, the deputy secretary general of the United Nations, said at a meeting of the General Assembly on Tuesday that the outbreak was “a test to international solidarity.”
With more than 3,500 cases that has been confirmed so far, with more than 1,500 deaths, making the outbreak the largest and most complex since the disease was first identified in 1976. Three countries in West Africa — Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — account for most of the cases, but there have also been confirmed cases in Nigeria and Senegal.

I hope this appeal by the UN ad the Medical group will motivate other other countries to grant aid to the affected  countries.
