Description

Ebola’s deadliest outbreak yet is raging in eastern Congo, with over 2,900 confirmed cases and 1,300 deaths—spreading faster than ever before. Frontline health workers, unpaid for months and risking their lives, have gone on strike demanding solutions. Over 100 of them have already contracted the virus. With no vaccine for this rare strain, researchers scramble for treatments while communities distrust officials amid conflict, mining, and attacks on clinics. Patient zero remains unknown, and global spread is deemed unlikely—but the crisis is far from over.
