The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is worsening, with cases approaching 3,000 and over 1,300 deaths reported. The crisis is compounded by health workers going on strike due to unpaid salaries and hazardous working conditions. Violence and shortages of medical supplies are further hampering the response efforts. Multiple news outlets, including ABC News, NPR, Al Jazeera, Reuters, and The New Yorker, are covering the deteriorating situation, highlighting the challenges faced by medics on the front lines.
