00:00In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, confirmed cases of Ebola have reached 9,066 with 4,381 deaths recorded
00:10in the seven affected provinces.
00:12World Health Organization officials warn that explosive outbreaks in remote health zones are severely undermining containment efforts as community transmission
00:22continues to expand.
00:23Health authorities warn that confirmed cases reflect only a fraction of total infections, while the spread of the rare wounding
00:33bungalow strain presents critical challenges due to the absence of approved vaccines.
00:38With most casualties occurring outside medical centers, public health teams are pressing for urgent global support to strengthen local healthcare
00:49infrastructure and stop community spread.
00:59In fact, what's happening right now is that in various provinces, we're seeing large outbreaks, sometimes very explosive ones.
01:09That continues to make controlling this epidemic an enormous challenge.
01:14Why?
01:15Because these outbreaks often occur in health zones that are either remote or in hit zones that are difficult to
01:23access.
01:28It's very difficult to be everywhere all the time.
01:32The strategy now is to really reach out to the communities that are hardest hit and bring a response to
01:39them.
01:40It is in those communities that people are sick, people are dying.
01:45That is where we need to reach out to them to set up services and the response.
01:50That's where we need to be.
