THE United States is to deploy 3,000 troops to help tackle the Ebola outbreak, including a major deployment in Liberia, the country where the epidemic is spiralling out of control the fastest.
The US response to the crisis, includes plans to build 17 treatment centers, train thousands of health care workers and establish a military control center for coordination.
“The goal here is to search American expertise, including our military, logistics and command and control expertise, to try to control this outbreak at its source in west Africa,” the White House said.
One UN official in Liberia said her colleagues had resorted to telling locals to use plastic bags to fend off the virus, due to a lack of protective equipment.
Medecins Sans Frontieres, the charity that has been leading the fight against Ebola, said it was overwhelmed and repeated its call for an immediate and massive deployment.
