The Ebola Outbreak Exposes a More Urgent Reality: Conflict and Health Collide The Democratic Republic of Congo is on high alert as it prepares to roll out an experimental vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, which has already claimed over 2,500 lives in the country's deadliest outbreak to date.
The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that Ebola is spreading exponentially, covering an area larger than France and threatening to overwhelm response efforts.
The situation is dire, but it also highlights a more profound issue: the inability of governments and international organizations to effectively respond to public health crises in conflict zones.
