The Telegraph: WHO calls for more money in fight against Ebola as violence hampers response once again
“…Dr. Tedros urged international donors to give more money. ‘No country or partner can face this deadly virus alone. The impact on public health and the economic ramifications can expand far beyond one country or continent. We promise we won’t relent until we’ve stopped this outbreak. But beating Ebola, wherever it may be, is expensive. It requires all of us to work together,’ he said” (Gulland, 2/26).
