The United States ambassador to the United Nations is going to visit all three of the West African countries hit hardest by the Ebola outbreak.
A statement released late Saturday by the U.S. mission to the U.N. says Samantha Power will visit Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea “to draw attention to the need for increased support for the international response.”
The statement says Power’s trip begins Saturday and ends Thursday, and she also is visiting Ghana and Belgium. Power is set to visit national Ebola coordination centers and meet with both U.S. and U.N. personnel on the ground in the Ebola-affected region.
