Congo-Kinshasa: 18 New Toyota Land Cruisers Arrive in Uganda to Boost Ebola Response in Eastern DR Congo

A fleet of 18 brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles has arrived in Uganda to strengthen Ebola response operations in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), providing a major logistical boost to frontline humanitarian teams battling the outbreak.

The vehicles were delivered to Entebbe International Airport on Wednesday night aboard a chartered Boeing 747-400 cargo aircraft before being prepared for transportation overland to eastern DRC.

The consignment adds to two similar vehicles that arrived from Dubai two weeks earlier, bringing the total fleet to 20 specialised 4x4 vehicles designated for humanitarian operations.
