PPE keeps health workers safe on the front lines of the Ebola response; whether running health centres, treating patients, or decontaminating spaces. A massive 120 tons of supplies have already been distributed in DRC, with another 40 tons of critical PPE arriving in days.

[UNICEF Africa @UNICEFAfrica]

Community engagement remains at the forefront of the #Ebola response.
In affected districts across the #DRC, over 1,500 community health workers & mobilizers have been trained & deployed to strengthen surveillance, early detection, referrals & safer behaviours at community level.

As the war in Sudan 🇸🇩continues into its 4th year, neighbouring countries are still welcoming refugees, mainly children & women.

The scale of sexual violence against children in eastern DR Congo is beyond a crisis – it is a tragedy.

In a recent article, @CNN shares the accounts of child survivors of rape who sought treatment at clinics supported by @UNICEFDRC and @save_children.

Amid rising conflict in eastern DR Congo, insecurity is leading to looting, violence and lack of protection for critical infrastructure.

“We're going through a very difficult time. Everything we had left behind had been stolen, and we found nothing when we returned."

Faraja, qui signifie « consolation » en swahili, a été blessé à l'oreille lorsqu'une balle a traversé le plafond et est tombée sur sa couveuse dans un hôpital à Goma.
