Press Conference by the United Nations Secretary-General(By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press) The UN chief will leave Wednesday night and 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.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday he’s heading to West Africa to demonstrate the U.N.’s solidarity with the countries most affected by the Ebola outbreak and to see for himself how the world is responding.

“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.

In the world’s largest Ebola outbreak, some 18,500 people have been infected, mainly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Of those, more than 6,800 have died.

Ban said local communities and national governments are engaged, there has been “an impressive outpouring of life-saving contributions from across Africa and across the world … and we are beginning to see improvements.”

But he said there is still a shortage of people and resources to tackle Ebola, and warned that “now is not the time to ease up on our efforts.”

“As long as there is one case of Ebola, the risk remains,” Ban said. “We must do everything we can to get to zero.”  (read more)
