Congo Ebola response strained a month after WHO declares international emergency

Ebola cases in eastern DRC have topped 800 and officials warn the outbreak could become the worst on record.
Response teams are short on staff, ambulances and basic supplies, leaving many contacts untraced and patients waiting or escaping.
Funding and materials — from PPE to gravel for isolation wards — are in short supply, and aid workers say urgent international help is needed.
