Water crisis fuels fears over growing Ebola outbreak in DR Congo

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is likely more severe than reported due to critical shortages of clean water, sanitation, and disease surveillance, according to Oxfam. This situation is exacerbating fears of a larger crisis as contaminated water and poor hygiene can facilitate the spread of the virus. The lack of basic resources highlights the challenges in effectively managing outbreaks in regions already strained by inadequate health infrastructure, underscoring the urgent need for more comprehensive support and intervention.
