The United Nations is not strong enough to fight Ebola
The head of the United Nations Ebola Response Mission, Anthony Banbury, admits that the world is currently incompetent to defeat the disease.
The head of the United Nations Ebola Response Mission, Anthony Banbury, admits that the world is currently incompetent to defeat the disease.
Being traveling in Ghana, Tony Banbury said that many countries have made a significant contribution, but the current international support for Ebola is still urgent. The British contribution helped open a new Ebola center in Sierra Leone. The United States, China and Cuba have sent significant numbers of soldiers or medical personnel to the epicenter."There are still many people, villages, towns and areas that are not getting any help. Meanwhile, Ebola continues to spread, go ahead and leave us , " Banbury said.

Sharing with the BBC, Mr Banbury said the price to pay for failure in the fight against Ebola was unacceptable. He called on countries to continue to support the epidemic, hoping to achieve the goal of 70% of beds for new cases and 70% for safe burial until December.
"The problem of lack of beds for Ebola patients is huge," Mr. Banbury admitted. Liberia and Sierra Leone were worst affected by the pandemic, partly because the medical system was destroyed during the civil war. The head of the fight against Ebola hopes by reducing the number of new infections, the United Nations will be able to meet the situation.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), only 22% of the 4,707 equipment at Ebola treatment centers are put into operation because of a lack of foreign health professionals. The number of deaths confirmed by the current WHO is 4,818. This figure decreased compared to the previous report on Friday last week. Banbury said it was difficult to say that the spread of the disease had slowed because the Ebola pandemic was still a "very chaotic picture".
In Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, Ebola shows signs of decline but "dramatically increases" elsewhere. Countries severely affected by Ebola such as Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are still trying hard to cope with the epidemic.
According to WHO, 546 health workers have been infected with Ebola since the outbreak of the outbreak, of which 310 died.
