Brazil donates $9.76 million to help fight Ebola
Brazil will provide funding to support efforts against Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone 
Brazil's government has recently provided more than $9.76 million to help efforts against Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the three West African countries most impacted by the disease. The donation was allocated to multiple UN divisions.
Half the amount was given to the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide care to infected populations and support prevention efforts. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will receive $2.54 million for basic services including healthcare. The World Food Programme has received $1.76 million to provide food.
The remaining $590,000 will be channeled into the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response. According to a statement from the Foreign and Health Ministries, Brazil had provided another $1.17 million to WHO and the Pan American Health Organization in November for the same purpose.
