The Guardian view on tackling Ebola: pathogens aren't the only things that kill | Editorial
Conflict and aid cuts are hampering the fight against an outbreak of the deadly virus centred in the Democratic Republic of the CongoThe Democratic Republic of the Congo has faced the deadly threat of Ebola 16 times since the virus was discovered there in 1976, with a 2018-20 outbreak killing almost 2,300 people. On Sunday, the World Health Organization declared the 17th outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern. So far, 139 suspected deaths and almost 600 suspected cases of the haemorrhagic fever virus have been identified, nearly all in the DRC's north-eastern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu, with two cases in Uganda of people who had travelled from the DRC.There is also anxiety about neighbouring South Sudan.
