New hotspots erupted last week in North Kivu, where death rates are soaring, while health workers face impossible conditions, even going on strike over unpaid wages. Conflict, attacks on aid teams, migrant miners, and crumbling health systems are accelerating the crisis. The Africa CDC warns actual cases may be three times higher due to poor surveillance.
