📍Democratic Republic of the Congo | Attacks against volunteers and humanitarian personnel are unacceptable.

The Red Cross societies of the DRC and Uganda, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the International Committee of the Red Cross are deeply concerned about recent attacks on Red Cross volunteers involved in the Ebola response.

One hundred days after the official declaration of the Ebola outbreak, 12 volunteers have been injured, ambulances have been damaged (including one that was set on fire) and emergency response equipment has been destroyed during 11 violent incidents.

We call on communities, local leaders, and all relevant stakeholders to support, respect, and protect humanitarian action. Volunteers, health workers, and humanitarian staff must be able to carry out their work in complete safety, without fear of violence, intimidation, or threats.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement remains fully committed to supporting vulnerable communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will continue its efforts to provide impartial humanitarian assistance to all those in need.
