Episode Details

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a deadly spike in deaths at the Kigonze camp has sparked fears of an Ebola outbreak. Over thirty people have died since May — far exceeding the camp’s usual one to three monthly deaths. Symptoms like fever and vomiting, combined with residents’ refusal to be tested and crumbling sanitation, make containment nearly impossible. With overflowing toilets and slashed funding for hygiene, the camp’s 15,000 residents face a dire health crisis. Health workers scramble to collect samples as the community reels from loss and degrading conditions, raising alarms that Ebola — or another deadly disease — may be spreading undetected through one of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
