Funding pledges for Ebola outbreak almost halved, Africa CDC says

Donors pulled back nearly half the pledged money to fight the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak — commitments fell from almost $500M to about $290M, drawing sharp criticism from Africa CDC officials.
WHO has declared the outbreak a public health emergency; Congo reports about 1,077 suspected cases (246 suspected deaths) and Uganda’s confirmed cases rose to eight.
The U.S. imposed 21‑day travel restrictions for people coming from Congo, Uganda and South Sudan, a move criticized because South Sudan has no cases and could hinder the response.
