Ebola crisis: Obama urges Congress to approve aid - chairman - 12-02-2014
US President Barack Obama has renewed calls for Congress to approve $6bn (£3.8bn) in emergency aid to fight the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The president made the plea on a visit to the National Institutes of Health, where he congratulated scientists on work towards a vaccine.
The WHO says 6,055 people have died in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
The medical charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), has again strongly criticised the international response.
