Ebola Crisis Escalates in Congo

Ebola is spiraling out of control in eastern DRC, with over 700 confirmed cases and 180 deaths by mid-June—likely far higher due to slow testing and unreported deaths. Bunia, home to a million people, is ground zero, where fear runs high as bodies collapse in public view, including one man who died vomiting blood on a motorbike taxi. Only half of exposed individuals are being traced, hampered by conflict, poor infrastructure, and overwhelmed health systems. Hospitals are shutting down, staff are working without proper gear, and some are considering quitting for their families’ safety—this outbreak isn’t just medical, it’s a humanitarian emergency.
