Inside the Ebola Emergency Airlift: 100 Tonnes of Aid to DR Congo

A deadly Ebola outbreak. Remote communities. Limited road access. And a race against time.

As eastern Democratic Republic of Congo battled the spread of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, the air cargo industry stepped up to deliver more than 100 tonnes of emergency medical supplies into one of the world's most challenging logistics environments.

From Europe to Africa, a coordinated effort involving UNICEF, ECHO, Network Airline Management, AVICO, and Astral Aviation ensured critical aid reached Bunia, the heart of the outbreak zone.
