US to send $10 mn to aid fight Ebola

The United States will contribute $10 million to pay for medical workers and equipment to fight the deadly Ebola epidemic ravaging West Africa, officials in Washington said on Tuesday. USAID said the funds will help finance a deployment by the African Union (AU) of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel to Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. "The US is committed to supporting the African Union's response to the urgent needs across West Africa as a result of this vicious disease," said Rajiv Shah, the head of USAID.
