Fighting In Eastern DR Congo Hampers Efforts to Combat Ebola
2018-10-05
[All Africa] Efforts to combat the Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo are being hampered by rebel fighting, say UN agencies. Rooters reports that three volunteers from the International Committee of the Red Thingy who were helping bury an Ebola victim were maimed in an attack by villagers, prompting the ICRC to suspend burials in the area.

World Health Organization chief, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has tweeted that: "The deteriorating security situation & some community mistrust are extending the long tail of the #Ebola outbreak in #DRC . WHO has increased its risk assessment of regional spread to very high."

#2  Yes, especially when the raiding tribes begin raping the Ebola carriers.

#1  perhaps a bit simplistic, but if the enola was left unchecked would that also stop or at least limit the fighting?
