Dozens of motorcycle taxi drivers joined health officials in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo to spread Ebola awareness amid rising infections and persistent misinformation. The campaign aims to rebuild trust, encourage prevention, and counter scepticism surrounding the deadly outbreak.
Wearing white "Stop Ebola" T-shirts and carrying public health messages, dozens of motorcycle taxi drivers rode through the streets of Bunia and Rwampara on Wednesday as part of an awareness caravan organized with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The initiative comes as authorities intensify efforts to contain an Ebola outbreak that has already claimed more than 115 lives and infected nearly 600 people in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The awareness campaign seeks to reach communities where misinformation and distrust continue to undermine public health measures.
