It is wiping out entire families. It has turned simple acts of love and comfort and kindness like holding a sick friends hand, or embracing a dying child into potentially fatal acts. If ever there were a public health emergency deserving an urgent, strong and coordinated international response, this is it. But this is also more than a health crisis. This is a growing threat to regional and global security. In Liberia, in Guinea, in Sierra Leone public health systems have collapsed. Economic growth is slowing dramatically. If this epidemic is not stopped, this disease could cause. A humanitarian catastrophe across the region. And in an era where regional crisis can quickly become global threats, stopping Ebola is in the interest of all of us. The Ebola virus is spreading at alarming speed. Thousands of men, women and children have died. Thousands more are infected. If unchecked, this epidemic could kill hundreds of thousands of people in the coming months. Hundreds of thousands. So this is all progress and it is encouraging. But I, I want us to be clear. We are not moving fast enough. We are not doing enough. Right now, everybody has the best of intentions, but. People are not putting in the kinds of resources that are necessary to put a stop to this epidemic. We cannot do this alone, we don't have the capacity to do all of this by ourselves. We don't have enough help workers by ourselves, we can build the infrastructure and the architecture to get help in, but we're gonna need others to contribute. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Obama Speaks on Ebola at The U.N.","description":"Obama Speaks on Ebola at The U.N.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/IDkAzydH/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-25T16:57:57.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/IDkAzydH.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/IDkAzydH/","duration":"PT2M25S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/IDkAzydH/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
