Community Resistance Complicates the Response to Ebola in Ituri

The fight against Ebola in Ituri is hindered by community resistance, leading to deaths in areas like Ndibe and Simbilyabo. In zones where preventive measures are followed, a decrease in new cases is noted. Response teams are ramping up awareness campaigns and involving community leaders, with eight group chiefs in Miala signing commitments to support the fight against the epidemic that has already claimed over 2,700 lives.
