UPS joins battle against Ebola with logistics aid
The UPS Foundation has committed $400,000 worth of in-kind logistics services to get crucial supplies to health care workers fighting the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The lion’s share of the contribution is a sponsored chartered flight from Belgium carrying 55 metric tons of disinfectant to Monrovia, Liberia, where 40 percent of deaths from the outbreak have occurred.
Assistance also includes expediting the trucking of 10 pallets of supplies from MedShare’s Decatur, Ga., warehouse to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, plus $75,000 worth of ocean freight services.
