The World Health Organization has allocated an additional $3.4 million from the Emergency Response Fund for aid. The World Food Programme warned that if access remains restricted and aid cannot be expanded, the epidemic will worsen local food insecurity. Currently, about 26.5 million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo face severe food insecurity, and nearly 10 million people in the eastern affected areas are in crisis or emergency hunger levels.
