ebola

Oxfam is warning that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa will not be contained unless more is done to prevent new infections. 

'In terms of a plan to reduce extreme income inequality, we are left empty handed. There has been a lot of talk and a raw sketch of plan of action in the communique, but it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Oxfam is calling for a concerted international effort to stop Ebola and is calling for military logistical support.

Tackling extreme income inequality means addressing issues related to both the have-nots but also the haves - including the top 10 percent.

The European Commission is putting the interests of multinational drug companies above those of millions of people with no access to affordable life-saving medicines, warn Oxfam and Health Action International.
