UNITED NATIONS: UN chief Antonio Guterres appealed Thursday for $1.1 billion to fully fund an aid plan for combating the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The plan, costing $2.1 billion in total, has received a major contribution from the United States but “without additional funding, vital operations will run out of money, just when they need to expand,” he said. The program is 48 percent funded and “current resources will last weeks, not months,” Guterres added.
