Hello friends,
My mother’s condition is getting worse every day because she has been unable to receive her treatment after the occupation prevented the medicine from entering.
Watching her suffer while I stand helpless is breaking my heart. We urgently need $200 to buy her treatment before her condition becomes more critical.
Any help, even something small, could save her from more pain. Please don’t leave us alone in this difficult time. 💔

BVD (#Bundibugyo Virus Disease) has been elevated to a #PHEIC (#PublicHealth #Emergency of International Concern), but does not match a #pandemic #classification as defined in the IHR (#International Health Regulations 2005), by #WHO (#World #Health Organization).
"...and clusters of deaths across Ituri all point towards a potentially much larger outbreak than what is currently being #detected and reported."
Since there's no #vaccine, "this is considered extraordinary."
