Original: 'When fear takes over': Responding to the DRC's largest Ebola outbreak
Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are working to contain the country's largest recorded Ebola outbreak, with responders warning that fear among affected communities is complicating efforts to trace and treat cases. Coverage highlights how panic can undermine containment, as people avoid treatment centres or hide symptoms, and stresses the need for trust-building alongside medical measures.
Why now: The outbreak has become the largest in the DRC's history, and reporting on how fear hampers the response is drawing attention.
