Ebola nations 'need huge aid plan'
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has called for a "Marshall Plan" for the Ebola-affected countries of West Africa, the BBC reported.
She was referring to the massive US aid programme for Europe launched after World War Two.
Her comments came after Sierra Leone was immediately granted more than $80m (£52m) to help end the Ebola outbreak and recover from its effects.
The IMF has pledged a $187m financial aid package for Sierra Leone.
Nearly $5bn has been pledged internationally to the Ebola effort, but less than half of the help has materialised.
About 600 delegates from around the world met in Brussels on Tuesday to talk about Ebola and long-term plans to fight the disease.
Nearly 10,000 people have died in the outbreak, the vast majority in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
