Ebola's Shadow Over India: Why the DRC Outbreak Is a Story Indians Should Follow
The Guardian·Sunday, 7 June 2026
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now on a trajectory that could rival the deadliest outbreak in history — the 2014 West Africa crisis that killed over 11,000 people. Rebel attacks in the outbreak zone have killed 30 people and caused infected patients to flee clinics, making containment harder. The US CDC's own modelling calls this a 'dangerous trajectory.'
Why It Matters
India has significant trade and people links with Africa. A large-scale Ebola outbreak can disrupt air travel, supply chains, and global health resources — all of which affect India.
