Humanitarian organizations, including the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, say the true scale of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains unclear, with the peak potentially not yet reached and the outbreak possibly lasting up to a year, Reuters reported on June 16. This assessment is driven by major data gaps, weak surveillance and community resistance hindering testing, contact tracing and safe burials, while health systems in eastern Congo remain under strain due to limited treatment capacity and inconsistent laboratory, hospital and surveillance data, raising concerns about undercounting and duplication as the outbreak expands.
