UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council says the international community has so far “failed” to adequately address the growing Ebola crisis.
The press statement released Wednesday comes a day after the head of the United Nations mission for Ebola response warned the council that the world must meet critical goals by Dec. 1. If not, Anthony Banbury said, the world will “face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we don’t have a plan.”

The Security Council statement warns that Ebola is a threat to international peace and security, and it urges all U.N. member states and aid organizations to “accelerate and dramatically expand the provision of resources,” including money.
This is the first time the United Nations has created a mission in response to a public health crisis.
