The US State Department said on Wednesday it would provide an additional $20-million to help fight the Ebola outbreak in Africa, bringing its total direct support to more than $220-million.
The money will support preparedness efforts in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Sudan, including for national emergency operations centers, as well as surveillance, testing, border screening and infection prevention and control, the department said in a statement.
It will also help countries distribute critical commodities and manage Ebola patients, it said.
