Ebola threatens displaced population in Congo's crowded camps amid water shortage

In the Congo's conflict‑hit region, about one million people have been displaced by violence. The displaced population lives in overcrowded camps that lack basic sanitation. Ebola virus is circulating among the residents, heightening fear of a deadly outbreak. Camp conditions provide limited access to clean water, hampering disease control efforts. Health workers struggle to provide adequate treatment and preventive measures. The scarcity of clean water forces residents to use contaminated sources. Officials warn that without improved water and hygiene, Ebola could spread rapidly. International aid groups are monitoring the situation and seeking to increase resources.
