The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $50m (£31m) to support the fight against the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The money will go to the United Nations and international organisations attempting to bolster emergency efforts to contain the current epidemic, which has led to more than 2,200 deaths.
"We are working urgently with our partners to identify the most effective ways to help them save lives now and stop transmission of this deadly disease," the foundation's CEO Sue Desmond-Hellmann said in a release.
