Ebola Outbreak in Eastern Congo

Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo hits hard with over 1,000 confirmed cases and 254 deaths since May 15th, mostly in Ituri province. Only half of exposed contacts are being traced — a major obstacle in containment. Authorities still haven’t identified patient zero, with over 35,000 people needing follow-up. But there’s hope: 100 survivors show the resilience of frontline medical teams as officials push to improve contact tracing and slow the spread.
