CNN's Clarissa Ward Reports on Ebola Outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo
CNN's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, has been reporting from Bunia, the capital of the Ituri Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is currently the epicenter of the latest Ebola outbreak. Ward and her team, the only TV news organization in the region, have been documenting the efforts of doctors working tirelessly to contain the virus. The outbreak has resulted in 62 deaths and 363 confirmed cases, according to the CDC. Ward's reporting highlights the challenges faced by health workers, including local customs that complicate containment efforts, such as traditional funeral practices. The region has endured 17 Ebola outbreaks, and despite the ongoing conflict and poverty, the resilience of the local population is notable.
