At this time, 64 people have had #Ebola in the #DRC, of which 42 have died.

@WHO and partners are supporting the government-led response, and today we released our Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, which is focusing on:
1) strengthening early disease detection, contact tracing and surveillance
2) scaling up delivery of safe care
3) expanding diagnostic capacity
4) mobilizing and empowering communities
5) ensuring timely access to vaccines and treatment

We thank donors and partners who have supported the response so far: https://t.co/nWed1PKJaY

“Foreign aid has changed nothing.” “These are not our problems.” “The system is dysfunctional.” “The countries we aid are corrupt.” “Other countries aren’t doing enough.”
