Ebola Surge Threatens Schools in Congo | Jamaica News

Published 9 hours ago
Description

Ebola’s surging in the Congo faster than ever—over 5,700 cases, nearly 3,000 dead—with kids under four hit hardest at a 60% fatality rate. Teachers and parents are demanding schools don’t reopen until safety is guaranteed. The UN is begging for another billion dollars to fight the outbreak, which is spreading rapidly amid insecurity, displacement, and health worker strikes. WHO warns it could surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic—and officials suspect the outbreak started as early as February, now reaching nearly 60 areas with undetected transmission chains.
