The United States will open 50 clinics for treating Ebola in the DRC, allocating 13 million dollars for immediate interventions.

The American Secretary of State announced that the United States, through the CDC and in collaboration with the WHO, will respond to the Ebola epidemic in the DRC, which has already caused over 130 deaths. The U.S. has allocated 13 million dollars for immediate intervention operations and intends to open approximately 50 clinics in the affected areas. Marco Rubio highlighted the difficulties of access in rural areas devastated by war but promised a considerable effort in this direction. Although the United States has withdrawn from the WHO and reduced funding to USAID, which played a crucial role in previous responses to Ebola, American authorities are determined to invest resources to combat this expanding epidemic. The WHO has warned about the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing the scale and speed of the virus's spread.
