The UN Security Council on Thursday declared the Ebola outbreak in Africa a “threat to international peace and security†and called on all states to provide urgent resources and assistance to help tackle the crisis.
Â
The 15-member body unanimously adopted a resolution that also calls on states “to lift general travel and border
restrictions, imposed as a result of the Ebola outbreak, and that contribute to the further isolation of the affected
countries and undermine their efforts to respond.â€
