Members of the Liberian-Australian community have welcomed the federal government's increase in aid to fight the spread of Ebola in parts of west Africa.
The Abbott government has announced an additional $20 million in funding for a private company to run a 100 bed hospital in Sierra Leone.

Bobby Whitfield from a group known as the Federation of Liberian Communities in Australia told Biwa Kwan the aid is a boost, but more help is needed.
