In response to the current mpox outbreak in Africa, Direct Relief is providing comprehensive kits for medical providers and patients affected by mpox. Each kit includes personal protective equipment such as gloves, gowns, N-95 masks, goggles, and shoe covers to protect 100 healthcare workers. The kits also contain medications for pain management and skin irritation, wound care supplies, and disinfectant wipes for up to 1,000 patients. The kits will be received by the nonprofit Jericho Road Community Health Center , which will use these supplies to treat patients in the three IDP (internally displaced people) camps near their facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo, or DRC. Jericho Road plans to operate and equip health checkup stations, temporary isolation units for mpox patients awaiting hospital transfer, and hold mpox awareness and preventative health training.

Since the start of 2024, there have been over 112,000 cholera cases reported across Africa, including more than 22,000 cases and over 600 deaths in Sudan alone. As case numbers continue to rise in South Sudan—a concerning trend given the perennial flooding and the massive influx of refugees fleeing conflict in Sudan—Direct Relief is sending cholera kits to both Sudan and South Sudan to support multiple partners on the ground. This shipment of emergency medical supplies and cholera medications to IOM - UN Migration will support their critical humanitarian work with internally displaced persons, migrants, and refugees across South Sudan. #SouthSudan #Sudan #Cholera
