"The world is looking to the United States," Mr Obama said, but added the outbreak required a "global response".

The announcement comes as UN officials have called the outbreak a health crisis "unparalleled in modern times". The spread of the disease means the funds needed to fight the outbreak have increased 10-fold in the past month, the UN's Ebola co-ordinator said, saying it needs $1bn (£614m) to fight the outbreak.
