[b] The presidents of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone have appealed for $3.2bn to aid their
countries recover from the Ebola crisis that has retarded their economies, severely destroyed the social fabric of their nations and killed more than 11,000 people.

Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, speaking on behalf of the above l isted countries, told
a high-level UN conference that international support will give millions of people a chance to
rebuild their lives and promote regional stability and world trade.

“The world as a whole has a great stake in how we together respond to this global threat,” she said, adding that “virus diseases, just like terrorism, know no national boundaries.”

The first five pledges to finance the national plans of the three countries totaled more than
$1.5bn – $340m from Britain, $495m from the European Union, $360m from the Islamic Development Bank, $266m from the United States and $80m from Japan.

Sierra Leone’s President Ernest Bai Koroma said making the plans work “has the urgency of a life and death situation for over 20 million people in our countries.”

Guinea’s President Alpha Conde stressed the need for “a Marshall Plan” that includes writing off the international debts of the three countries, a reference to the US program to help rebuild European economies after the end of the second world war.

In addition to the $3.2bn needed for the countries’ national plans, Sirleaf said another $4bn will be needed to finance a regional recovery plan.[/b]
