WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — The United States (US) announced Thursday that it was allocating an additional US$80 million to help combat the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
The Trump administration has faced criticism from the Democratic Party and non-governmental organisations over its response to the crisis, which comes after the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID)
With the new funding, total US aid amounts to US$112 million since the outbreak began, the State Department said in a press release.
