Ebola cases jump in North Kivu as Ituri outbreak slows
Original: Ebola: Sharp jump in cases in North Kivu while outbreak slows in Ituri
Health officials report a sharp increase in new Ebola cases in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, even as the outbreak slows in neighbouring Ituri. The diverging trends highlight the uneven progress of containment efforts in the region, where response teams have faced insecurity and community mistrust. Observers are watching whether the surge signals wider spread or a localized flare-up.
Why now: A sudden rise in Ebola cases in one province while another sees improvement raises concern about the outbreak's trajectory in the DRC.
