CNBC Africa · South Africa · Africa CDC triples Ebola response ask to $1.4 billion as DRC case count hits 1,138
Reported the Africa CDC announcement with context on the DRC government's limited fiscal capacity, noting that the $910 million pledged at the June 18 donors' briefing now falls short of the revised ask by roughly $490 million. The shortfall is concentrated in humanitarian logistics and community-engagement, not clinical response.
“Funding requirements for the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak have tripled from $518 million to $1.4 billion as cases surpassed 1,100 across DRC and Uganda.”
