Sixteen tonnes of medical equipment donated by the US government arrived yesterday in Liberia, which has tallied the highest death toll in the West African epidemic.
Kai Olsen, from the US Agency for International Development, said the shipment included plastic sheeting to build temporary shelters and water purification kits.
It also included personal protective equipment such as "gloves, facial masks and body suits that allow workers to work with either patients or samples of materials -- to work with the Ebola virus safely."
