Stopping Ebola Won’t Be Easy, Obama Says

US President Barack Obama has said that overcoming the Ebola disease won’t be easy, but it can be done.

Obama addressed West Africans in a video released by the State Department saying:

"Stopping this disease won't be easy. But we know how to do it,"

"You are not alone; together we can treat those who are sick with respect and dignity.

"We can save lives and our countries can work together to improve public health so this kind of outbreak doesn't happen again"

Ebola has killed over 1000 people in West Africa since it first broke out in March.
