In the local area, an Ebola outbreak is currently unfolding. This outbreak is affecting communities that have already been impacted by years of conflict and displacement. These communities, particularly in Ituri province, have been living in shelters for extended periods.

The conditions in these shelters are challenging, with poor sanitation being a significant issue. Further details about the outbreak and its impact on the local area are available from ReliefWeb, including information from the Norwegian Refugee Council.
