First nursery for babies of Ebola victims opens in Congo

A new nursery has opened in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to provide care and psychosocial support for children who have lost their parents to the recent Ebola outbreak. The facility, supported by UNICEF, is located in Ituri province, which accounts for most of the cases and deaths in the resurgence of the disease. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, has led to 135 children being orphaned. Psychosocial workers like Wivine Kabala are helping children cope with trauma and loss, emphasizing the emotional impact of the crisis. Meanwhile, attacks on health facilities have raised concerns for the safety of healthcare workers responding to the outbreak.
