“The situation is alarming, Ebola is gaining momentum,” Alima humanitarian group field coordinator Hama Amado told AP, referring to the city of Bunia where the first fatal case was confirmed last month. Almost 20 tons of aid were transported to the area by helicopters, where doctors used surgical masks with expired dates, but the modest healthcare infrastructure makes it impossible to detect the virus early. Some of the presumably infected are lying in the same rooms as other patients.
