\u200bThe World Health Organization has declared the Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic a \u201cworldwide health emergency.\u201d The virus, which started in Guinea and spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, has now spread to Nigeria. It is being reported that more than 1,770 people have been infected with the Ebola virus, with approximately 961 having died as a result.<\/p>\n

Lutheran Disaster Response, in partnership with Global Health Ministries and the Lutheran Church in Liberia, assisted in theshipment of personal protective equipment<\/a> to Phebe Hospital and Curran Lutheran Hospital in Liberia. The personal protective equipment, which consists of hazmat suits with hoods and boots and disinfectant, is scheduled to arrive at Roberts International Airport in Liberia on Saturday, Aug. 9.<\/p>\n

We continue to gather information from our partners and our global companion churches in West Africa as we earnestly pray for healing and relief from this deadly virus. We will walk with our brothers and sisters who are facing the risks of the Ebola virus as we add our efforts to the international community that is working to contain the virus.<\/p>\n
