Aid Came Too Late as Ebola Spread in Congolese Town
Original: ‘No Help’: Aid Arrived Too Late as Ebola Spread in a Congolese Town
A New York Times report describes how aid reached a Congolese town too late to contain an Ebola outbreak, leaving residents to say there was 'no help' as the virus spread. The story highlights delays in the international and national response, and the human cost of slow intervention in remote areas. Coverage is drawing attention to gaps in outbreak preparedness in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Why now: Renewed concern over Ebola response delays in the Democratic Republic of Congo is drawing fresh attention to the report.
