People facing #Ebola in #DRC have endured years of conflict, displacement and hunger. They know what is needed. Outbreaks are stopped when they lead. To support, @WFP is working with partners to move health workers, supplies and food fast. Speed and solidarity can end an outbreak

“We fled our farms to escape gunfire,” says Justine, mother of three in South Kivu 🇨🇩. Conflict cut off livelihoods and drove families into hunger. Thanks to 🇺🇸Government support, food assistance helps them eat, stay safe & begin rebuilding their hope for a better future.
