Claim 1: “He called on the international community to ‘increase their support’ so that countries affected by Ebola outbreaks can control the epidemic and prevent it from spreading.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a web search result that mirrors the phrasing of the claim. Additionally, corroborating evidence is found in the report of the Africa CDC and WHO launching a joint continental Ebola response plan to raise US$ 518 million, which aligns with the call for increased international support to control the epidemic.
