he Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is now the biggest in the country’s history and the second largest ever in recorded history, with over 1,600 deaths so far.
On July 17th the outbreak was declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organisation (WHO). As they said – it is time for the world to take notice.
This is a serious announcement. Since 2005, there have only been four declarations of public health emergencies (including Ebola in West Africa in 2014).
We need your help now.
The DRC Red Cross has 150,000 volunteers to call on and the Red Cross Movement will continue to work there, and in surrounding countries, for as long as we can make a difference. These dedicated volunteers desperately need funding to enable them to carry out their work and prevent this crisis from worsening.
Your support could help our teams deliver safe and dignified burials and set up hand-washing points at health centres and decontamination bases, where we could destroy contaminated material, disinfect vehicles and store equipment.
Please support our Ebola appeal right now and help save lives.
