Response is country's most sustained to ease a global humanitarian crisis

China will continue to assist West Africa in fighting Ebola until the epidemic is eradicated in the region, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

China has pledged four aid packages to Africa since April to help contain the deadly disease. The response has been China's longest lasting, most intense campaign in response to a global humanitarian crisis, Lin Songtian, director-general of the ministry's department of African affairs, said at a media briefing.
