UNICEF  shipped  1,000  metric  tonnes  of  life-­‐saving  supplies  for  children  caught  in  the  world’s  most  urgent  crises  -­‐-­‐  the  largest  emergency  supply  operaIon  in  the  organizaIon’s  history  in  a  single  month.  The  amount  delivered  would  fill  19  cargo  jumbo  jets.  

Liberia’s  effort  to  contain  the  Ebola  outbreak  has  been  strengthened  by  248  MT  of  supplies  from  UNICEF  such  as  latex  gloves,  safety  goggles,  and  overalls  to  protect  health  workers,  concentrated  chlorine  disinfectant  and  a  range  of  essenIal  medicines.

Takeaways  •  Travel  bans  restrict  the  supply  chain  of  criIcal  cargo  and  trained  workers.  

•  PPE  stockpiling  may  lead  to  manufacturing  constraints  and  resource  misalignment.  

•  Health  systems  in  West  Africa  must  be  strengthened  to  combat  this  epidemic  and  to  safely  provide  health  services  going  forward.
