    ​Israel just became the largest donator per capita for fighting the Ebola epidemic. Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, signed on behalf of the state of Israel the Ebola Response Trust Fund, pledging an additional 8.75 million USD.

    Israel has already sent fully equipped emergency medical clinics to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, and deployed public health and infectious diseases experts to Cameroon and the Ivory Coast to to train local health professionals to treat the virus.

    Amb. Prosor: “Global cooperation is more than a moral obligation to provide assistance to people in need - it is an investment in the long-term prosperity of all people. This idea is central to the Jewish value of 'Tikkun Olam', the obligation of every person to make the world a better place.”
