Conflict obstructs Ebola response
A report indicates that the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains out of control despite containment efforts, with the highest weekly number of cases and deaths since the outbreak began. The past week recorded 567 new cases and 296 deaths, bringing the total to 3,605 cases and 1,587 deaths, with 651 patients recovering. Containment efforts face security challenges due to armed conflicts and an incomplete contact tracing process, with monitoring coverage currently at only about 80%, whereas effective control requires tracking 95%. The complex security environment, characterized by ongoing conflicts and the presence of displaced populations, poses major obstacles to rapid surveillance and vaccination efforts, thereby hampering efforts to contain the virus's spread.
