AMOUNT: EUR 3 500 000
0 . MAJOR CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE HIP
Modification 1 (05/06/2014): As funds under this HIP have been completely allocated, an additional amount of EUR 500 000 has been added to enable continued response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. In the period leading up to the end of May 2014, the Ebola epidemic was declared technically over in Liberia and the number of cases in Guinea had decreased. However, since 29 May the number of cases has not only risen dramatically in Guinea, but cases have now appeared in Sierra Leone. The cumulative number of cases and deaths attributable to the in Guinea is now 328, including 208 deaths. Humanitarian agencies, who had hoped to be able to scale down operations, now have to prolong their interventions and require more resources to meet the new demands.
