China's largest health rescue overseas has completed, with nine passenger planes and freighters uniting efforts in Ebola-hit countries, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
Between Aug. 10 to Nov. 16, the CAAC dispatched nine aircraft from domestic airlines including China Eastern Airlines and China Cargo Airlines to transport 282 medical staff and 767 tonnes of medical materials to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, CAAC deputy director Wang Zhiqing said on Wednesday.

A total of 14,413 Ebola cases had been reported by Nov. 11 in Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Spain and the United States and in two previously affected countries of Nigeria and Senegal, with 5,177 reported deaths.
