In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, thousands of refugees have fled to internally displaced person camps to escape militia violence. However, these camps are now among the hardest hit by the recent Ebola outbreak. The conditions in these camps are a result of long-standing issues, including conflict and violence in the area.

Many people have been displaced, with approximately 20,000 living in camps in Bunia. Further details about the situation and the response of organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship are available from Mission Network News.
