Congo's Ebola outbreak has climbed to nearly 2,000 cases with over 750 deaths. The World Health Organization says it has less than half the funding needed to contain it. Health workers have gone on strike over lack of pay and resources.
Underfunded epidemics don't stay contained. Without adequate funding, detection slows, treatment capacity shrinks, and the virus spreads further. Health workers striking because they're unpaid means outbreak response breaks down. At 2,000 cases, this outbreak is past the point where it's easily controlled.
