Exactly one year ago, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) declared an outbreak of the #Ebola virus in the country’s North Kivu province, a region already plagued by violence and displacement. 
Since then, the highly contagious and deadly virus has infected more than 2,600 people and caused more than 1,800 deaths, becoming the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history. Of those infected, almost one in three are children. 
These grim developments underscore why global challenges like the spread of deadly disease require a coordinated international response, including adequate funding and assistance from other nations and partners across the globe. Right now multiple @unitednations agencies — including @WHO, @UNICEF, @UN_OCHA , @worldfoodprogramme — are working alongside government officials in the #DRC and Uganda to treat those infected, protect those at risk, and work to contain the virus.
