Following the G20 statement on Ebola, Friederike R\u00f6der from the ONE Campaign reacts:<\/p>\n

Finally, the G20 has realized that it can\u2019t ignore the Ebola crisis anymore.<\/p>\n

However, these words alone will not be sufficient in the light of the scope of the crisis. This declaration lacks substance on what leaders will do to deliver for the crisis: to contain it and to rebuild health systems so an outbreak like this can never cause such devastation again. Where the concrete actions are each G20 member states commits to in order to control the epidemic?\u00a0 Where are the commitments to long term support to help the countries to recover from this crisis?<\/p>\n

Some G20 countries, like the US and UK, have stepped up to the Ebola crisis- others – like G20 hosts Australia – have done shamefully little. This statement does not absolve Tony Abbott or any other leader from further action- unless all countries pull together, deliver quickly and coordinate their efforts this crisis will take longer than it should to contain. Brisbane is the time for action, not more words.<\/p>\n

Also ONE is surprised that not all the G20 countries agree on the need to invest in order to prevent such a crisis to rise up again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
