One massive hurdle in fighting Ebola in DRC: Ituri has nowhere near the capacity it needs for safe and dignified burials, just 7 of 98 needed ambulances, for instance.
That means higher likelihood of unsafe burials and new infections as well as longer wait and more anger/mistrust in communities.
The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is still growing rapidly. There are now 635 confirmed cases including 127 deaths.
That's 37 new confirmed cases in the past 24 hours, all of them from Ituri province.

New Ebola situation report is out (there was none yesterday) and numbers are still rising shockingly fast:
782 confirmed cases now (+72 in the last 24 hours)
That includes 181 confirmed deaths.
Follow-up of contacts is back down to 56,5%. Not good.
