Today, a @WHO team, alongside @MinSanteRDC responders, visited Kigonzi camp in Bunia, which hosts internally displaced people. ​The #Ebola response in Ituri operates within a severe humanitarian crisis. The latest @UNOCHA figures show that 980,000 people are displaced across the province, compounding vulnerabilities as teams respond to the outbreak. ​What our teams assessed today was good community leadership and high awareness of Ebola risks. ​What we need to scale up is enhancing essential services, including improving access to clean water and sanitation; further enhancing of contact tracing, especially among those close to the two suspected deaths that occurred in the camp. ​Our work continues, to meet the needs of the population, until we end this outbreak, and beyond.
