How conflict in DRC, Sudan and Yemen is fueling disease

D'zirava Lety sums up the hopelessness of her situation in just a few words: "There is no water. In the entire camp, there is only one tap. Another challenge is the lack of toilets. Children relieve themselves anywhere. With the disease that has arrived, we are being told to wash our hands, but there are no hygiene kits. And when we go into town to sell our products, people push us away, saying that we are carrying diseases." Lety lives with 20,000 other internally displaced people (IDPs) at the Kigonze camp on the outskirts of Bunia in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). They fled the violence of the many rebel groups that have destabilised the region for decades. But now they face a new threat: Camp officials told DW that in June, the Ebola virus had been detected for the first time among people who had died.
