United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said yesterday he’s heading to West Africa to demonstrate the United Nation’s solidarity with the countries most affected by the Ebola outbreak and to see for himself how the world is responding.
The U.N. chief will visit hard-hit Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea as well as Mali.
He will also visit Ghana, where the U.N. Mission for Ebola Emergency Response is headquartered.
“I want to see the response for myself and show my solidarity with those affected, and urge even greater global action,” Ban told a news conference.
