This revised Emergency Appeal seeks a total of CHF 56.8m (increased from CHF 41.1m) to enable the IFRC to support the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society (SLRCS) to respond to the ongoing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak for 6,348,350 people. This revision represents another significant scale-up of SLRCS activities, notably in surveillance and contact tracing. The revision has been necessitated by the decision to open a second Ebola treatment centre in Kono district after an assessment carried out indicated the need and notable increase in both human and material resources. As of 3 March 2015 there had been 11,466 cumulative confirmed, probable and suspected cases and 3,546 cumulative deaths recorded in Sierra Leone. The total number of survivors and discharged cases in the country is 3,099. A recovery assessment is currently underway and will form the basis of the next revision.
