class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">The European Union and UNICEF have sent 100 tons of humanitarian supplies to the Ituri Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo to support the Ebola response.UNICEF said the shipment includes essential medicines, infection prevention and control items, personal protective equipment, cholera and malaria treatment supplies, high-performance tents and related equipment.The aid, which flew out on Monday from Liege in Belgium, is expected to support around 100,000 people affected by the outbreak.According to the EU Commissioner for Preparedness and Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib the aid will also help five million people who are largely dependent on Humanitarian aid, one million of which are displaced and &#8220;spread across some 60 camps.&#8221;On 17 May, the World Health Organisation classed the latest outbreak of the Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus as a public health emergency of international concern.Meanwhile, Commissioner Lahbib said that this outbreak causes a &#8220;danger to the region, the country, and neighboring countries.&#8221;There are currently no vaccines or treatments available for the Bundibugyo virus. However, the EU is contributing \u20ac7.4 million to the development of vaccines and treatments with the WHO for a research and development plan, aimed at fast-tracking clinical trials.According to the commission the EU is coordinating its approaches on prevention and preparedness with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organisation, as well as EU Member States through the\u00a0Health Security Committee (HSC).Since the first recorded outbreak in 1976, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has experienced 17 Ebola outbreaks, nine of them within the past 16 years.As the disease spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of symptomatic patients, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says the likelihood of transmission to people living in the EU and EEA remains low.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/05\/26\/eu-unicef-send-100-tonnes-of-aid-to-dr-congo-ebola-outbreak&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/77\/15\/08\/1200x675_cmsv2_a40601df-e0e7-5b42-add8-1902f9afdb7c-9771508.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Ukraine graft probes &#8216;exactly what the EU wants,&#8217; deputy PM says Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | May 26th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Iran Ayatollah Khamenei breaks silence to vow no US bases in the region Europe News EU chief vows to stand firm against drones, disinformation campaigns Europe [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1955964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1955964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1955964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1955964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1955964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
