In the provinces of Ituri, Nord-Kivu, and Sud-Kivu, assistance has been provided to over 80,000 people. This aid was given between mid-July and the end of July 2026. The International Committee of the Red Cross adapted its methods to carry out these distributions in collaboration with the local Red Cross.
The distributions were done with strict respect for Ebola prevention measures. To ensure physical distancing, the number of beneficiaries invited each day was reduced by about 50% compared to usual numbers. Local health authorities were involved in spreading awareness messages.
Further details about the assistance and distribution process are available from the source. The efforts made to safely provide aid during this time are notable, with handwashing and temperature checks implemented for each person assisted.
