#DRCongo: We are doing our utmost to maintain our regular and emergency activities, but in some areas we have had to limit the risks by reducing the size of our teams. Around Goma, for example, direct armed violence has reduced our ability to go to certain affected sites over the past two days.

To tackle the rise in #cholera cases & deaths in #DRCongo, WHO is mobilizing resources for the hardest-hit areas: - Emergency & cholera treatment supplies - Emergency beds - Free medical care - Deployment of 7000+ community health workers and more 👉 bit.ly/4eaezLZ

A young girl prepares to collect water from Lake Kivu – an essential daily task that carries hidden danger. In North Kivu, where conflict continues to displace communities, unsafe water sources like this remain a major driver of cholera transmission. WHO warns that without access to clean water, the most vulnerable continue to face life-threatening risks.
