DR Congo opens Ebola nurseries to protect children separated from infected parents

In response to a growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, local authorities have established specialized nurseries to care for children separated from infected parents. These centers provide shelter, daily care, and psychological support to mitigate the impact of the outbreak on children. The initiative aims to prevent further infections by separating infected parents from their children when no alternative caregivers are available. Health officials emphasize the importance of mental health services for children dealing with the trauma of separation. As of June 30, the country reported 1,406 confirmed Ebola cases, including 438 deaths. Humanitarian organizations warn that the crisis extends beyond the virus itself, affecting healthcare access, education, and family stability, with children under five being particularly vulnerable to other diseases due to disrupted services.
