The European Union and UNICEF have sent 100 tons of humanitarian supplies to the Ituri Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo to support the Ebola response.

UNICEF said the shipment includes essential medicines, infection prevention and control items, personal protective equipment, cholera and malaria treatment supplies, high-performance tents and related equipment.

The aid, which flew out on Monday from Liege in Belgium, is expected to support around 100,000 people affected by the outbreak.
