At a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Great Lakes region, the United Kingdom's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Kate Foster, made a statement. In her remarks, she confirmed that the United Kingdom continues to provide support for the humanitarian response in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). According to Britain's representative, one of the key areas of this assistance remains support for efforts to combat the Ebola fever outbreak in the country. Britain confirmed its commitment to working with international partners to stabilize the humanitarian situation in the region, which continues to face serious challenges in security and healthcare. The Security Council meeting addressed a broader discussion of the situation in the Great Lakes region, including questions of conflict, security, and the humanitarian situation in the DRC and neighboring countries. Britain, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, traditionally pays attention to the situation in this African region, providing both diplomatic and financial support to humanitarian initiatives.
