Ebola crisis: No impact from pledges of help, MSF says

Recent pledges of help and deployments to Africa's Ebola-hit Countries have had no impact on the epidemic.

A Senior Medecins Sans Frontieres official, Christopher Stokes, who heads the charity's Ebola operation, said it is ridiculous his volunteers still bore the brunt of care for sufferers.

The remarks came as UN Chief Ban- Ki- Moon pleaded for funds, as a drive for donations fell short of its target.

The disease has killed about four thousand 500 people so far, mostly in affected countries.

The Organization currently runs about 70 percent  of the one thousand  beds available in treatment facilities across Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the countries worst affected by the outbreak.

Reports from the UN Ebola logistics base in Ghana, says it is generally agreed that at least three times that number are needed and that the disease is still out of control.
