We extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those lost and are hoping for the full recovery of all those injured. We are eager to support the health authorities working around the clock to respond to this emergency guided by the long-term goal to strengthen the national health system in a sustainable manner,\u201d said <b>Robert Taliercio O\u2019Brien, World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Funding was made available through the existing Institutional Foundations to Improve Services for Health (IFESH) project aimed at improving health service delivery to women, children, and adolescents in Liberia. The Bank\u2019s support will help ensure uninterrupted provision of medical oxygen for patients in intensive care and delivery of medical supplies needed for the emergency phase, among other urgent needs. Also, the funds will help provide specialized nutritional support for patients with severe burns, high-level traumas, and ICU stays; social and psychological support for dependents (mainly children, disabled and women) of affected\/deceased in the accident; and other treatment for victims of the explosion.<\/p>\n<p>Since the explosion of the gasoline tanker on December 26, 2023, an estimated 70 persons have been confirmed dead, 37 of whom from medical facilities in Montserrado and Margibi counties.
