The Ebola crisis you remember was back in 2014 in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. But the current one in the DRC is actually growing far faster than that one did. Ebola has faded out of the news because there's been a lot of news to tell and limited time to tell it, but also because the story is hard to put into headlines. It's wrapped in complex layers of history, traditions, and systemic failure that have combined to make everything worse. So Chirs Montgomery has put together this video to better understand what makes Ebola so hard to combat in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As Ebola cases continue to rise across eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the humanitarian response is at a critical turning point. In a recent media interview with Al Jazeera Media Network, World Vision DRC's East Zone Director, David Munkley, warned that the outbreak has exceeded all expectations, with daily cases increasing dramatically and the disease spreading into new health zones. He highlighted the urgent need for greater investment in prevention, community engagement and frontline health services, stressing that trusted local voices - including faith leaders, schools, community leaders and health workers - are essential to building confidence and helping communities adopt life-saving measures. Above all, he called for stronger support to protect children and families who remain at the heart of this crisis. Watch the full interview below and join us in raising awareness of the urgent need for collective action.
