## Resource

Ebola is spreading fast in the DRC, with over 900 suspected cases and 200+ deaths, prompting the WHO to urgently call for global action. WHO chief Tedros visited the region, opened a new treatment center, and emphasized that early care saves lives—even without a vaccine. But tensions flare as communities resist medical protocols tied to burial customs, sparking attacks on clinics. Conflict in Ituri further blocks aid, while Tedros demands a ceasefire. Brazil is monitoring travelers for symptoms, and neighboring Uganda reports cases. Despite the grim toll—30-50% fatality rate—some patients are recovering. International support is pouring in, including U.S. funding, but experts warn the outbreak may be worse than reported, with thousands of samples still untested.
