<p> </p><p>The current outbreak of Ebola poses a serious public health risk to West
Africa and is deeply concerning. The UK is taking a leading role in working with the
countries affected and with the international community to ensure that the outbreak
is contained and help reaches those in need. In total, over £25 million of British
funding is supporting the global effort to contain this disease. This includes £5
million of new direct funding to help partners working on the ground like the WHO,
Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières to treat victims and prevent the spread of
Ebola in West Africa. Over £20 million of UK support is helping contain Ebola through
commitments to multilateral institutions (the World Bank and the African Development
Bank) and the EU.</p><p> </p>
