A logistic base against Ebola caught fire early Thursday morning near the airport in Conakry, the Guinean capital.

BBC Africa correspondent in Conakry reports that a thick smoke visible from surrounding areas came off for hours.

Ebola: humanitarian logistics base of the fight against the epidemic catches fire

We just learn it, the logistics base in the fight against Ebola virus disease, located on the premises of the court of Conakry airport, caught fire Thursday morning. The fire was under control after several hours of intervention of firefighters.

According to a police officer on duty at Conakry airport, the logistical base of the World Food Programme (WFP) receives inputs and other materials to the fight against Ebola virus disease. The tents near the burned store under which are also stored more lots of inputs, have not been affected by the fire, according to our witness.

For now, no details were given on either the cause of the fire or on the assessment of damage caused. Still, the losses appear to be enormous.
