Cyprus provides €100,000 in aid to DRC for Ebola outbreak

On November 4, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus announced a humanitarian contribution of €100,000 to support the fight against the Ebola virus epidemic currently affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This financial aid is being channeled through the World Health Organization (WHO) and is facilitated by the CyprusAid humanitarian mechanism.

The ministry stated via its social media channels that this contribution serves as a practical demonstration of Cyprus's solidarity with the populations impacted by the epidemic. The initiative underscores the country's ongoing commitment to participating in international efforts aimed at managing emergency humanitarian and health crises.

While the announcement confirms the transfer of funds through established international channels, no specific timeline for the deployment of these resources on the ground was provided. The aid represents a targeted effort to bolster healthcare infrastructure and response capabilities in the region as the WHO continues its work to mitigate the spread of the virus.
