Ebola Crisis—Democratic Republic of the Congo

Help Stop the Spread of Ebola in the DRC

Ebola is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with more than 100 lives already lost and infections growing daily. At the outbreak’s epicentre, years of conflict have left many hospitals and clinics damaged or destroyed. There is no vaccine for this outbreak.

Samaritan’s Purse is airlifting urgently needed protective equipment and a specialised treatment centre to the region. Our doctors, nurses, and medical staff are on their way to help prevent further infection and care for the critically ill. We are building on all that we learned during our 2019 response, when we treated more than 600 patients.

Your gift today will help:

• Equip frontline medical teams with essential protective gear

• Support the operation of an emergency treatment centre

• Provide compassionate, Christ-centred care to those suffering

We respond in Jesus’ Name. Thank you for your prayers and for giving so our teams and local medical staff can serve in these very challenging conditions.
