Frontline workers at an Ebola treatment centre in Bunia, Ituri, are working around the clock to screen patients and support affected communities. The situation is highly concerning, with pregnant women, children and healthcare workers all impacted. Some staff have been infected and are now in isolation, worsening shortages and straining services. Limited training and lab capacity are delaying test results, while a lack of protective equipment is fuelling mistrust and resistance in communities. Save the Children is preparing a large-scale response to strengthen the local health system and support families affected by Ebola. This includes providing therapeutic milk (F‑75 and F‑100) to help children whose mothers are ill, and improving infection prevention and control measures in health facilities. Equipment such as infrared thermometers, gloves and chlorine solution have been distributed to support decontamination processes and safe burials. These interventions aim to reduce transmission risks, improve care for vulnerable children, and strengthen the capacity of health services to respond effectively to the outbreak.
