Between 7,000 to as many as 21,000 people are likely dying each day from hunger in countries impacted by conflict, according to a new Oxfam report published on World Food Day.

Several of the most recent confirmed cases of Ebola are reported to have passed through a number of screening check points unnoticed.

A year after the current Ebola outbreak was declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), new Ebola cases in Goma show potential for virus to spiral out of control.

The World Health Organization's declaration is a major step in attracting the world’s attention to the Ebola crisis in DRC

Lack of trust means many Ebola cases in the DRC are going unnoticed as people avoid treatment.

Humanitarian organisations call for urgent assistance. Urgent action is needed to help tens of thousands of people forced to flee their homes following armed attacks in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

The current response is failing the people it is supposed to be helping as focusing purely on the medical side is not enough to contain the epidemic.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is battling to keep Ebola under control; cases are increasing at a quicker rate and the virus has spread further.

New cases of Ebola found in urban areas over the last few days show the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not yet under control.

Millions of people facing severe hunger and acute malnutrition in one of the worst hit areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo risk having life-saving aid cut if donors do not plug a hole in the aid budget, Oxfam warned today.
