DRC: WFP calls for a comprehensive response to Ebola

In eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the World Food Programme (WFP) emphasizes that the fight against Ebola is complicated by a food crisis. Over 500,000 people in Ituri province are facing emergency food insecurity. David Stevenson, WFP director in DRC, states that a hungry population struggles more to adhere to the necessary health measures to curb the virus's spread. WFP is already involved in the response by providing logistical support and hot meals in treatment centers.
