The amount of money they're asking for is so laughably small, the fact that nobody has stepped up so far can only be explained with apathy.

It's so small, lots of smaller cities could fit that in their budget without a second thought. The list of individuals to which that is an inconsequential amount of money is thousands strong.

Chump change to prevent something that could develop into a global threat to health and trade? What a steal.

Is the problem not that it's in a war zone?

		It's not a stable region, but you don't have to hand deliver the money to them. There's already people dealing with the outbreak. They/the WHO say they need around $25m to do it, but so far have only received a fraction of that.
