Thank you @Chikwe_I.

It meant a lot to be present, to show solidarity and to meet the health workers and partners on the ground.

The EU will continue to stand with those affected by Ebola and with all those working tirelessly to protect lives.

While others are locking their borders, @hadjalahbib, you have chosen to come to Bunia #DRC

While others have chosen distance, you have chosen presence

This visit reflects not only the leadership of DRC but also @EU_Commission leadership in standing alongside partners.

Lifeline from the sky. 📦 An EU plane with 100 tonnes of vital medical & protective supplies have landed in Bunia to reinforce frontline health workers & secure health centers against Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Together with @UNICEFDRC, we are stepping up to save lives. More flights will follow.🇪🇺🇨🇩

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

At a time of growing violence, conflict and polarisation, leaving millions of people hungry, sick or displaced, we deeply value @EU_Commission’s and Humanitarian #TeamEurope’s continued commitment to humanitarian action, and to strengthening its efficiency and impact.

For @WHO, you have been an invaluable partner not only in fighting diseases, but also in supporting the most vulnerable people living through, or fleeing, conflict.

Our sincere thank you.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

Today’s EU & UNICEF Humanitarian Air Bridge will deliver 100 tonnes of aid to fight #Ebola in the DRC: medicines, protective gear, tents & more.

We’re acting fast: €15M in new humanitarian assistance announced Friday, on top of €87M allocated for the Great Lakes this year.

[EU HERA @EC_HERA]

This development is in addition to support made to identify the strain, strengthen Ebola tracking, accelerate sequencing, investment in research for vaccines, and support to clinical trial readiness for therapeutics.
