UPDATE: Our response to the Ebola outbreak in DRC The current Ebola outbreak in DRC is now the worst in the country's history. As of November 13, there are 333 cases and 209 deaths. We are working to help communities near the epicenter of the epidemic to prevent the spread of the disease. Our emergency teams are distributing hygiene kits and hand-washing stations for health facilities in Musienene, Lubero, Beni and Butembo in North Kivu. We're also repairing water points and latrines as well as conducting health and hygiene education in health facilities, schools and other public spaces. While an Ebola vaccine has been created, it is not licensed yet, which coupled with restricted access in the conflict-affected province of North Kivu, limits its usage. We are preparing to significantly scale up our Ebola response in the coming weeks, doubling the number of emergency response teams and expanding beyond North Kivu to Ituri province. The World Health Organization recently warned that the risk of the virus spreading at the national and regional level is very high.
