The current situation in the DRC is marked by a new and serious Ebola outbreak. The eastern part of the DRC has not been spared from this threat, as the country has already recorded more than 513 confirmed cases to date. The poorest and most vulnerable populations-such as women who have suffered various forms of physical torture and sexual violence, and those displaced by war-are the hardest hit by the negative impacts of the Ebola outbreak, which is ravaging eastern DRC.

Solution

It is therefore urgent to address the problems arising from this outbreak: By providing them with the necessary resources, such as protective masks, disinfectants, and other protective products; by disseminating information and awareness messages on prevention; by reducing panic within the community at large; and by distributing handwashing stations, leaflets, and other awareness materials on good hygiene practices; Producing public service announcements, programs, and awareness messages
