Ebola Outbreak Outruns Response in DR Congo

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is spreading faster than health workers can contain it. The outbreak, which began in a remote area, has now reached more populated regions, complicating efforts to stop the virus. WHO officials report that new cases are emerging in locations where response teams have not yet established control. The agency is calling for more international support to speed up vaccination campaigns and contact tracing. Without a faster response, the virus risks spreading further across borders.
