## Resource

Ebola is raging across central Africa, with over a thousand cases and hundreds dead—mostly in the DRC, spilling into Uganda—driven by a rare, untreatable strain with no approved vaccine. WHO warns it’s too late to stop the spread, as teams scramble to contain a rapidly worsening epidemic amid violence, community distrust, and burned clinics. Canadian experts say this outbreak is far more complex than past ones, hampered by conflict, Congo’s vast size, and broken infrastructure, while experimental vaccines won’t arrive soon enough to save lives.
