The Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries are facing a rapidly escalating Ebola outbreak, severely straining vulnerable communities and an already fragile health system. With hundreds of deaths and numerous cases already reported, experts are sounding the alarm about a public health emergency of international concern. Recent aid cuts and ongoing humanitarian crises in the region will only worsen the situation. Your donation will provide vital support to affected communities.
A rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak in the DRC and its neighboring countries has triggered a health emergency. The number of suspected cases and deaths is rising rapidly, while health systems, already strained by recent aid cuts, are struggling to contain the virus. The deadly Bundibugyo strain, for which there is no licensed vaccine or treatment, is spreading in conflict-affected areas, threatening wider regional transmission and exacerbating fears in Central Africa, where medical teams are work
Your donation to the Ebola Crisis Relief Fund will enable humanitarian organizations on the ground in affected areas to have the resources they need to support communities impacted by the outbreak by providing emergency care and essential supplies, as well as to address broader humanitarian needs and support the ongoing recovery across the crisis-affected region, particularly for marginalized and underserved populations most affected by public health issues, displacement, and conflict.
Ebola crisis will severely reshape healthcare infrastructure, local economies, and social structures across affected regions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. Because the Bundibugyo strain has no approved vaccine, containment relies heavily on prolonged behavioral shifts and deep systemic recovery. Diversion of resources to Ebola containment halts routine medical care, leading to spikes in malaria, measles, and maternal mortality.
