The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is increasing its efforts to address an ongoing Ebola outbreak in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The organization is delivering critical supplies and has expressed concern over regional risks and attacks on its volunteers. The IFRC is also seeking funds to support its response, with the situation reportedly requiring an expanded humanitarian effort to bring the outbreak under control, possibly extending to neighboring countries such as Uganda.
