Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

WHO: Ebola Targets Met in Guinea, Liberia

HeadlineDec 02, 2014

The World Health Organization says Liberia and Guinea have met a goal to treat 70 percent of patients suffering from Ebola, while Sierra Leone has not. The agency warned it may not reach a year-end goal to isolate and care for all patients. But Anthony Banbury, head of the U.N. Ebola response mission, cited progress.

Anthony Banbury: “The global response to the Ebola crisis has succeeded in turning this crisis around. Where we were 60 days ago compared to where we are now, we have been — and by 'we,' I’m talking about all the actors involved in the response — extremely successful in getting this crisis under control. We’re far away from being out of the woods, but there has been remarkable results achieved in the past 60 days.”
