Ebola is affecting several health zones in Ituri Province, in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, after an outbreak was declared on 15 May 2026.
In Bunia, the Red Cross volunteers are at the heart of the response, supporting frontline efforts alongside ICRC, IFRC and local teams to contain the spread and assist the affected communities.

Deeply saddened by the loss of three dedicated volunteers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo Red Cross in Ituri Province, who are believed to have contracted the Ebola virus on duty, while carrying out dead body management activities on 27 March as part of a humanitarian mission unrelated to Ebola.
At the time of the intervention, the community was not aware of the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak, and the outbreak had not yet been identified. They are among the first known victims of the outbreak.
On behalf of the @IFRC, I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families, loved ones, fellow volunteers and colleagues. We stand in solidarity with the DRC Red Cross during this painful time.
The IFRC, together with the DRC Red Cross and the ICRC, remains committed to supporting affected communities and strengthening the Ebola response.

Tous les détenus méritent d’être traités avec dignité et équité, quels que soient les motifs de leur arrestation et de leur détention.
Cela implique notamment l’accès aux services essentiels, la prévention des mauvais traitements et le respect des garanties judiciaires.

For the families of the #missing persons, not knowing whether your loved one is dead or alive can cause suffering.
We will continue to support families, searching for answers and restoring the family links whenever possible in #SouthSudan. #SSoT.

All parties involved in armed conflicts, whether it is a non-state armed group or a state, must protect civilians and civilian objects without excuses.
Civilians shouldn't bear the cost of the hostilities. #IHL. #SouthSudan.

Accessing services for survivors of #SexualViolence, is still a challenge in #SouthSudan.
Survivors MUST receive medical attention preferably within 72 hours after the incident of rape. #SSOT.

Armed conflicts worldwide have cost thousands of people their limbs, changing how they move through life and how they experience even the simplest routines.
In South Sudan, where prosthetic services are scarce, the ICRC’s physical rehabilitation centres in Juba, Wau, and Rumbek are helping people regain a basic part of living independently: the ability to move again.

Staying neutral allows us to do our job. It is not indifference: it is a deliberate choice.
Our mission comes from the Geneva Conventions, universal laws that preserve a degree of humanity, even in war. Today, 162 years since our founding, neutrality remains as crucial as ever.
