A U.S-based health aid organization is warning that the outbreak of the deadly Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda is spreading faster than responders can contain it. The warning came Tuesday from the International Rescue Committee, which said the outbreak is no longer limited to remote areas of northeastern Congo, ABC News reported.
Cases are now spreading to larger regional hubs, including the major city of Goma and Uganda’s capital, Kampala.
The outbreak has resulted in over 900 suspected cases and at least 223 deaths so far.
