The Fastest-Growing Ebola Outbreak Is Worsening Hunger in Eastern Congo, UN Warns

The fastest growing Ebola outbreak ever recorded is leaving thousands more people hungry in eastern Congo, a region engulfed in conflicts and a fight over precious minerals, the head of the UN food agency warned on Wednesday.

The World Food Program’s acting executive director, Carl Skau, told The Associated Press during a visit to the hard-hit Ituri province that the outbreak is a “crisis on top of a crisis” that has compounded a catastrophic situation with over 5 million Congolese already experiencing emergency-level food insecurity.

The long-running conflict in eastern Congo has driven nearly 10 million people into crisis or emergency levels of hunger, with Ituri—the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak—among the most affected with 1.9 million in need of food, according to the WFP.
