Handicap International Ships 1,000+ Tonnes of Ebola Aid in DR Congo
Berlin – November 09, 2026 -- Handicap International (HI) has organized more than 200 transports delivering over 1,000 tonnes of relief goods in the Democratic Republic of Congo between January and September, as Ebola case numbers keep rising.
HI moves protective gear and medicines through armed-conflict zones
The organization is delivering protective equipment, medicines, isolation tents and hygiene materials to the hardest-hit areas. Many affected villages can be reached only by narrow forest tracks. Heavy rain has made some roads impassable, and numerous bridges are destroyed. Armed groups and attacks shape daily life outside the cities, and incidents and accidents on the routes are frequent.
