URGENT: DRC EBOLA EMERGENCY APPEAL

Ebola is spreading at an alarming rate. Lives are at risk. Your urgent support is needed today.

In just three days, suspected Ebola cases jumped from 246 to 516. Reported deaths rose from 80 to 131. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the situation a "public health emergency of international concern". 

This outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain which there is no vaccine or treatment for.

Right now, our expert teams are responding immediately, preparing for a large-scale response to protect children and affected communities from this fatal disease.
