Announcing the support today during his official visit to Benin, European Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs, said "The ongoing Ebola crisis remains extremely concerning; not just because of its obvious impact on health services but also due to the wider challenges it brings to the region in terms of economic stability, food security, water and sanitation.
„Praegune Ebola-kriis on äärmiselt murettekitav, seda mitte ainult selle ilmse mõju tõttu tervishoiuteenustele, vaid ka sellega kaasnevate laiemate probleemide tõttu, mis seonduvad piirkonna majanduse stabiilsuse, toiduga kindlustatuse ning veevarustuse ja kanalisatsiooniga,”
