WHAT OBAMA SAYS: US President Barack Obama had said stopping the current outbreak of the Ebola virus in west Africa was a priority for the United States. If not stopped, he said, the outbreak could cause a humanitarian catastrophe across the region. Speaking at a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Mr Obama said that there was still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be in the international response to the outbreak. Obama says not enough is being done to tackle Ebola. More nations need to contribute critical assets and capabilities - whether its air transport, medical evacuation, health care workers, equipment, or treatment, he said. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said today that the world could and must stop Ebola now.
