Healthcare workers and aid groups in eastern Congo said Thursday they are in dire need of more supplies and staff to respond to the rare Ebola outbreak, as armed groups continue to threaten the safety of a region already grappling with displacement and a humanitarian crisis.
“The situation is worrying because this is gaining momentum,” Hama Amado, the Bunia field coordinator for Alima, an aid group, told The Associated Press. “This is spreading in many areas. So everyone must mobilize.”
