Ebola and ISIS Hit Congo
Efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo have been hampered by armed attacks attributed to ISIS. Patients, contacts and suspected cases fled a health facility after an attack in which a health center and homes were burned in Kivu province. The attack, which took place on Friday, killed at least 33 civilians, while 180 patients were evacuated from the KiliKili center. The area accounts for about half of new cases. The country’s toll has reached 10,741 confirmed cases and 5,230 deaths. Fear, mistrust and difficulties accessing affected areas are obstructing the isolation of patients and the tracing of contacts. Estimates suggest that around 60% of deaths occur in residential neighborhoods.
