UNHCR | Donate to support refugees from the DR Congo
Families were already struggling due to ongoing conflict, with homes destroyed, and people fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
People forced to flee and the communities hosting them urgently need soap, hand sanitizer and access to healthcare to help prevent the transmission of this deadly disease.
We are scaling up prevention and awareness measures, as we have for previous disease outbreaks like Mpox, so that families have the information they need to help stop the spread—but more support is urgently needed.
We can’t do it alone.
Please donate today and help people forced to flee.
