The US announced yesterday that it had allocated more than $242mn in additional funding to combat the worsening Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The new funding brings direct US financial assistance in response to the outbreak to more than $500mn, the State Department said, underlining that the US remained “the largest financial contributor to the Ebola response.”
Washington called on other countries to increase their contributions to efforts to combat the disease.
The US has faced criticism over its strict travel restrictions put in place to prevent Ebola.
