The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo has escalated, with nearly 600 suspected cases reported, leading to the postponement of the India-Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi. Health care workers in Bunia, the epicenter of the outbreak, are facing severe shortages of supplies and personnel as they respond to the crisis. The outbreak is linked to the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, for which no vaccines or treatments are available. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak a public health emergency, expressing concern over its scale and speed, suggesting the actual number of cases could exceed 1,000. The humanitarian situation is dire, with over 920,000 internally displaced individuals in Ituri province, where health facilities are overwhelmed and unable to isolate patients effectively. The situation is further complicated by ongoing violence from armed groups, which poses a significant threat to health care workers and the broader community. As local leaders call for urgent support, the need for increased resources and a coordinated response has never been more critical.
