UNICEF is scaling up its response to the Ebola outbreak, expanding operations from 49 to 60 affected and high-risk health zones. This includes supporting government-led efforts in community-based surveillance, risk communication, infection prevention, and essential service continuity. In August, over 11,700 community actors were engaged in these efforts.

Humanitarian funding remains significantly below requirements, potentially impacting the breadth and sustainability of response activities. The country faces a high INFORM risk class, indicating severe and ongoing humanitarian needs.

The Ebola outbreak continues to affect communities, necessitating expanded health interventions. The country also hosts a substantial number of internally displaced persons, indicating widespread displacement and associated humanitarian needs.

Specific details on the impact of the Ebola outbreak on displacement or food security are not yet covered in recent reporting.
