London allocates $67M to Congo for Ebola containment
The British government has announced an additional funding of over 50 million GBP (67.56 million USD) to support efforts to combat the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 6,000, marking the largest and fastest outbreak of the virus in the country. The United Kingdom's support includes disease surveillance, support for healthcare workers, treatment provision, infection control, awareness campaigns, and safe burials, along with the deployment of health experts to the region. This initiative is part of its response to the challenge posed by the outbreak of a rare strain of the virus, for which no approved vaccines or treatments currently exist.
