U.N.: Ebola could spread to 20,000
WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. The United Nations World Food Programme is scaling up its operations to provide food to around 1 millionpeople living in restricted access areas in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
The WHO Roadmap, published in 2011, is a comprehensive plan of control, elimination and eradication targets for 17 NTDs to be reached between 2012-2020. This document is the culmination of nearly eight years of global discussions that have reshaped the international consciousness that investment in areas outside of the “big three” diseases (malaria, HIV/AIDS and TB) can have major impact of global disease burden and morbidity.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization. Right now it is doing all it can to fight the Ebola outbreak in Monrovia, Liberia, including rapid scaling up of it.
