David Cameron has called for EU leaders to double their funding in the fight against Ebola to £800 million.
It comes after one of the doctors who discovered the virus, Professor Peter Piot, said the rest of Europe was not doing enough to tackle the epidemic.
Downing Street said the current total contribution from the EU was just £400 million.

More than 100 British personnel are arriving in Sierra Leone to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Here's what else the UK is doing.
