North Kivu (Figure 1) is the epicentre of the Kivu Conflict where armed conflict between the military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo – FARDC) and the Hutu Power group has resulted in violent armed clashes and inter-communal conflict [1]. With a 21,000-strong force, United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) constitutes the largest peacekeeping force currently in operation. This area has about one million uprooted people and shares its borders with Uganda and Rwanda, with cross border movement for trade. The humanitarian crisis and deterioration of the security situation of this nature is expected to affect any response to the outbreak [2].
