A recent assessment by UNESCO is examining information access regarding the Ebola virus disease outbreak across several provinces. This assessment aims to guide future communication activities with media outlets. A new report highlights that acute hunger has doubled globally in the last ten years, affecting 266 million people, with DRC listed among the ten largest global food crises.

The ongoing Ebola outbreak presents a public health challenge, requiring effective information dissemination. The severe food crisis indicates widespread food insecurity and malnutrition.

The country hosts over 1.4 million internally displaced persons and 400 refugees. The doubling of acute hunger globally suggests a significant impact on food security for vulnerable populations within the DRC.

Specific details on the current status and geographic spread of the Ebola outbreak are not covered. The report does not detail the specific drivers or regional variations of the food crisis within DRC.
