Ebola Misery in Liberia's Capital Monrovia
President Barack Obama says no other nation is doing as much as the U.S. to contain and ultimately stop the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Mr. Obama said Tuesday that the U.S. has increased the number of Ebola treatment units and burial teams and has expanded the pipeline of medical personnel and equipment since August, as well as launched an aggressive educational campaign.
The president says "the bottom line is" U.S. health care workers in West Africa and the U.S. Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) deployed there in late summer are doing whatever it takes to ensure medical personnel and health care workers from all countries have what they need to get the job done.
The chairwoman of the African Union Commission has called for African solidarity to overcome the Ebola outbreak, saying that no country will be free and healthy if one country still faces Ebola.
Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma made the call Tuesday in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, at a meeting with officials from the United Nations, World Bank, African Development Bank, and the European Union Commission. She said upon returning from a visit to five West African nations -- Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone -- that her delegation was "humbled" by the efforts of the people and governments fighting the illness and its aftermath.
Zuma said she is "greatly encouraged" by the response of more than 1,000 health care workers pledged, in addition to financial support provided and pledged by member countries. She called on AU nations that have not yet contributed, to do so "in the spirit of solidarity."
At the same meeting, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon repeated the call for AU countries to keep their borders open, to facilitate passage of workers and aid.
Also Tuesday, Swiss health officials reported that a new Ebola vaccine trial will begin this week on 120 volunteers at a hospital in Lausanne.
On Monday, Australia announced it would suspend entry visas for people traveling to the continent from Ebola-affected countries, and mandatory three-week quarantines for holders of permanent Australian visas who would be coming from West Africa.
Also Monday, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, spent a day observing humanitarian efforts in Ebola-stricken Guinea, posting afterward on Twitter that the "scale of need is staggering" and that the "most basic resources will help save lives."
She later visited Sierra Leone and will visit Liberia, the two other countries hit hard by the Ebola epidemic.
Power highlighted the efforts of those already working in Guinea to treat patients, build treatment facilities and educate people, including Doctors Without Borders and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
