Ebola Surge in Congo Hits Crisis Point | Little Rock News

Communities live in fear amid misinformation and unpaid health workers, but hope arrives as Congo receives 16,000 doses of a vaccine proven against other strains—potentially offering some protection—and Pope Leo urges global action to include locals in prevention efforts.
