On May 17th, the World Health
0:02
Organization declared a rapidly
0:03
spreading Ebola outbreak in the
0:05
Democratic Republic of the Congo and
0:07
Uganda, a public health emergency of
0:10
international concern.
0:11
>> International health agencies now
0:13
preparing a large-scale response to an
0:15
outbreak that may be difficult to trace.
0:18
>> Hundreds of suspected cases have been
0:20
identified and dozens of people have
0:22
died. It's already one of the largest
0:25
outbreaks on record. This strain of
0:27
Ebola is rare, harder to diagnose, and
0:30
does not have any vaccine or treatments
0:32
yet. It's also spreading in an active
0:35
war zone where health systems have been
0:37
ravaged by armed conflict. That would be
0:40
bad enough, but recent cuts to US
0:42
foreign aid have made it even more
0:44
difficult for local organizers and
0:46
health workers to respond effectively.
