Ebola Hits Schools in Congo | Charlotte News

Ebola’s deadly grip tightens in Congo as schools reopen amid chaos—over 6,000 cases and nearly 3,000 deaths have been reported. Parents and teachers in Ituri province begged to delay classes, but the government pressed ahead. With kids staying home due to lack of safety measures—and young children especially vulnerable—the outbreak is accelerating faster than ever, now spanning 60+ health zones. Schools scramble for thermometers and sanitizer, yet basic needs like clean water remain unmet, and supplies struggle to reach remote areas. Compounding the crisis: health workers strike over unpaid wages, ongoing conflict, and attacks on medical staff. Even with a vaccine on the horizon, experts warn this could become the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
