Ebola-hit DR Congo faces 'catastrophic collision' of disease and conflict, WHO warns
WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned that ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ituri province is creating a 'catastrophic collision' of disease and conflict, severely hampering response to a Bundibugyo strain Ebola outbreak that has resulted in 220 suspected deaths (17 confirmed). Aid efforts are blocked by clashes, poor infrastructure, and international aid cuts; Tedros is set to arrive in DR Congo to scale up containment, while countries including Canada, the US, and the Bahamas have imposed travel restrictions, and organizations like MSF and ECDC are deploying resources despite challenges like insufficient testing and insecurity.
