Liberia president praises US for Ebola help pledge

Health workers in protective gear move the body of a person that they suspect dyed form the Ebola virus in Monrovia, Liberia, Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014. The number of Ebola cases in West Africa could start doubling every three weeks and it could end up costing nearly $1 billion to contain the crisis, the World Health Organization warned Tuesday.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says her government will provide logistical help in response to the Ebola crisis in Liberia.
Merkel told reporters Wednesday that Germany is considering sending a mobile hospital to Liberia.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had sent a letter to Merkel earlier this month asking Germany for help.


A government spokeswoman, Christiane Wirtz, said Germany was also considering sending help by transport planes, possibly coordinated by the German army.
President Barack Obama announced Tuesday that the United States will send troops in response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
