United Nations - Ebola Update by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the United Nations Secretary-General at the Daily Noon Briefing at UN Headquarters in New York (22 December 2014). (Update) On Ebola, you just heard what the Secretary-General had to say, briefing you on his trip to the affected countries over the weekend. I also want to flag that the World Food Programme (WFP) and the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) are launching today a public fundraising campaign with Tencent, one of the world’s largest internet companies. Funds raised from the campaign will go towards WFP’s emergency operations to meet basic food and nutrition needs of affected families and communities in the three countries worst impacted by Ebola –Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Since the Ebola outbreak was first identified in West Africa in April, WFP has provided food assistance to more than 2 million people and has supported the medical response through logistical services for the entire humanitarian community, including air transport of people and good.
