Tracking Ebola's Cross-Border Spread in Congo's War-Torn East

A New York Times graphics-backed report shows how the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ebola outbreak, centered in Ituri Province, has spread in a region wracked by conflict, displacement and weak health capacity, with the virus circulating undetected for weeks and now crossing borders into neighboring East African countries. Officials warn the death toll is already among Congo’s worst for a major Ebola outbreak and containment is hampered by continued violence and large population movements, while the World Health Organization says regional risk is high but not a global threat.
