## Resource

Ebola is surging in eastern Congo, with cases and deaths skyrocketing—over 3,400 cases and 1,500 deaths confirmed, a 50% jump in just a week. The Bundibugyo strain, with no approved treatments or vaccines, is spreading fast amid chaos: conflict, illegal mining, and resistance to contact tracing. In Ituri province, the outbreak is worst, but cases are popping up even in major cities. Uganda has declared itself Ebola-free, offering a glimmer of hope. Yet, attacks on health workers, misinformation, and anger over funeral restrictions have forced aid groups to pull back, crippling the response. The fight is brutal, and time is running out.
