Health workers struggle to contain Ebola in Congo camps as distrust grows

In Kpangba camp (about 30,000 people) two Ebola deaths were reported but angry residents denied the diagnosis and chased away health teams, blocking contact tracing.
Overcrowding and poor sanitation in displacement sites—hundreds sharing toilets and open defecation—raise real fears the virus could spread quickly.
Deep mistrust, attacks on treatment centers and shortages—echoing violence from the 2018–2020 outbreak—are complicating efforts to contain Ebola across provinces with millions displaced.
