Obama to announce troops, funds to fight Ebola


Countless taxis filled with families worried they've become infected with Ebola crisscross Monrovia in search of help.

They scour the Liberian capital, but not one clinic can take them in for treatment.


"Today, there is not one single bed available for the treatment of an Ebola patient in the entire country of Liberia," said Margaret Chan, the World Health Organization's director-general.

"As soon as a new Ebola treatment facility is opened, it immediately fills to overflowing with patients," the WHO said. 

President Obama announced that more help is on the way. He'll visit the Atlanta headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for a briefing on the outbreak.
