Ebola Surge in Congo Outpaces Response | Ottawa News
Description
Ebola is racing through the Democratic Republic of Congo at its fastest ever pace, with over 2,000 deaths and 4,000 cases—nearly half fatal—and no approved vaccine or treatment for this deadly Bundibugyo strain. Amid rebel violence, broken infrastructure, and delayed care, families grieve as symptoms are often mistaken for malaria or ignored until it’s too late. Health workers are scrambling to catch up, shut down airports, and stop outbreaks—but people keep moving, trade continues, and the virus remains ahead. This is the 17th Ebola outbreak in the nation—a grim warning that without urgent global action, the virus will keep winning.
