Sept 16th GENEVA (AP) — The number of Ebola cases in West Africa could start doubling every three weeks and it could end up costing nearly $1 billion to contain the crisis, the World Health Organization warned Tuesday. Even as President Barack Obama was expected to announce the deployment of 3,000 American troops to help provide aid in the region, Doctors Without Borders told the U.N. health agency that the global response to Ebola was falling far short of what is needed. The response to Ebola continues to fall dangerously behind, Joanne Liu, president of the medical charity, told a meeting at the United Nations in Geneva. The window of opportunity to contain this outbreak is closing. We need more countries to stand up, we need greater deployment, and we need it now.
