## Resource

Ebola’s deadly spread is being fueled by how bodies are moved — the virus stays infectious after death, and funeral practices are becoming a major outbreak vector. The UN migration agency has halted over 100 bodies from crossing into new zones, after one such transfer directly triggered a 70% outbreak surge in Tshopo province, adding 40+ new cases daily. Meanwhile, health workers face fierce community resistance, making contact tracing nearly impossible and leaving countless potential exposures unaccounted for.
