A major #Ebola outbreak is unfolding in #DRCongo. What worries health workers most isn't just the cases we know about, it's the ones we don't. With health systems already stretched by conflict, displacement & aid cuts, containing the virus is becoming even harder. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social ⬇

Join Manel, Oxfam Public Health Promoter, as he shows how water trucking is helping protect communities and support the response ⬇️

The strongest response starts with people. In eastern #DRC, where #Ebola is spreading, local leaders, youth & communities are taking the lead to protect one another. Oxfam is working alongside to support prevention, raise awareness & strengthen community-led action ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social
From Eastern #DRCongo, our health safety and security advisor shares what he witnesses on the ground. Families are facing the combined impacts of the #Ebola outbreak, insecurity & limited access to healthcare. Yet, communities continue to support one another ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social
🇨🇩 #Ebola is spreading in #Congo at a time when the health system can barely cope. Funding gaps have led to closed health facilities, shortages of medicines & weakened disease surveillance. We are responding but urgent funding is needed ➡ www.oxfam.org/en/ebola-out... @oxfaminternational.bsky.social
🇨🇩 Aid cuts left the #DRC blind to Ebola. More than 400 cases and 89 deaths have already been confirmed. We are already preparing an emergency response, but urgent funding is needed to save more lives. ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press... @newsfromoxfam.bsky.social
The hunger crisis in #DRC is deepening: 26.5 million people are experiencing acute hunger, including 1.7 million more people than at the end of last year. Conflict and aid cuts are forcing impossible choices for humanitarian agencies. ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...
Africa’s dependence on imported fertilizers isn't sustainable. The Strait of #Hormuz closure was a stark warning. As the #AfricaForward2026 Summit calls for a “new partnership” between France & Africa, will it finally back Africa’s agricultural resilience ? ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/blogs...
#CSW70 exposed uncomfortable truths: limited access, rising backlash and persistent power imbalances. Paul Vingi, our interim gender justice lead, unpacks what this moment means for gender justice today. A must-read ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/blogs...
We are deeply concerned by the latest findings showing that acute food insecurity in #SouthSudan continues to increase with 7.8 million facing extreme hunger. Without urgent, scaled-up action, more lives are at risk ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...
Africa has contributed the least to the climate crisis—yet paying the highest price. While fossil fuel companies make billions, families across the continent are dealing with rising energy costs, drought, floods, and hunger. #MakeRichPollutersPay
