Amid the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is appealing for 9.4 million dollars to fund efforts to prevent the new outbreak from spreading across West Africa.   

The IFRC said Monday the money will be used to step up “surveillance and community sensitization efforts” in Guinea, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Senegal and Sierra Leone.
