A report from the city of Beni, in the heart of the latest Ebola outbreak. With Benedict Moran. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, health officials are struggling to end a new Ebola outbreak - the tenth that has gripped the country since the virus was first identified there in 1976. At least 185 people have contracted Ebola since early August, and the latest cluster of cases has emerged in an area where there is active fighting between the government and more than 100 different armed groups. Health workers say new medicines and the development of a vaccine are making the job of treating Ebola easier. But the virus also emerged in an area where there is active fighting. For the past 24 years, conflict between armed groups and the government — or from inter-communal violence — has displaced millions of people. As Congolese and international health teams are work to contain the latest outbreak amid conflict, The World Health Organization now says, the risk that the disease will spread elsewhere in region — and even to neighboring countries — is “very high.”
