Ebola Surge in Congo Amid Violence | Baltimore News

Ebola is racing through Congo’s Ituri province at record speed, with over 2,000 cases and nearly 900 deaths — fueled by a deadly strain with no approved vaccines or treatments. Response efforts are collapsing under twin threats: violent attacks on clinics and staff, and frontline workers striking over unpaid wages. Angry mobs have stormed treatment centers, kidnapped teams, and targeted burial crews — all sparked by restrictions on traditional funeral rites. With 90% of cases concentrated in Ituri, aid workers are fleeing to safer zones, while the UN warns escalating violence is crippling containment. If help can’t reach communities safely, this outbreak could spiral out of control. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
