It follows the death from EBOLAS in Uganda yesterday of a five-year-old body who had come from the Congo.

Tomorrow’s meeting in Geneva will the third time the United Nations health body will be meeting on the EBOLA outbreak that has killed 1 400 people in the DRC since last July.

Twice before – most recently in April – the WHO stopped short of declaring an international emergency because the second worst EBOLA outbreak in history had been contained within the DRC.

Now that it has jumped the border, the WHO determination could trigger immediate international action to deal with the deadly hemorrhagic disease.
