The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not yet under control and the next few weeks will be critical to contain the virus, Oxfam has warned.
In response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, UNICEF is mobilising hundreds of community workers to raise awareness among children and families on how to protect themselves against the disease.
Transmission of Ebola has been stopped in Liberia and Sierra Leone, while Guinea is now treating a baby believed to be its last case, the United Nations Special Envoy on Ebola, Dr David Nabarro, has reported.
Faith leaders in Sierra Leone and Liberia played an “essential role” in stemming the spread of Ebola but the delay in involving them cost lives, says a new report.
A year into Sierra Leone’s battle against Ebola, the country is making progress in its journey towards recovery, although much remains to be done, says Christian Aid.
