Ebola Surge in Congo Hits Crisis Point | Charlotte News

Ebola in eastern Congo is spiraling out of control, with over 6,000 cases and nearly 3,000 deaths—yet more than 1,300 have recovered, offering a glimmer of hope. The outbreak’s spread is fueled by chaos: displaced populations, healthcare worker strikes, and violent attacks on response teams—including one where a staffer was injured during a funeral. This rare Ebola strain has no vaccine or treatment yet, though trials are underway for a potential match. Officials believe the outbreak began as early as February, now spanning nearly 60 areas—with most cases outside known contact chains—and WHO warns it could surpass the deadliest outbreak in history.
