US Praises Ebola-hit Nations and Foreign Donors for Efforts to Tackle Outbreak

The United States has praised Ebola-hit West African nations and foreign donors for their efforts to tackle the outbreak.
America's United Nations envoy Samantha Power, on a visit to the region, said Liberia and Sierra Leone have hugely increased the number of safe burials, one of the main ways the virus is transmitted.  She also warned against stigmatizing those suffering from Ebola.
The US government has continued to stress that the best way to stop the virus from spreading is to tackle it at source, and has rejected calls for restrictions on travel from the region.
