救援官员于周二表示,刚果民主共和国(DR Congo)致命的埃博拉病毒疫情在该国内陆持续蔓延,尽管在遏制疫情方面取得了一些成效,但他们再次呼吁国际社会为一线救援人员提供支持。\n\n联合国埃博拉问题特别协调员朱利安·哈尔内斯(Julien Harneis)强调:如果我们没有资源,疫情将会卷土重来……这仍然是一场致命且规模巨大的疫情。\n\n根据联合国世界卫生组织(WHO)的数据,截至9月12日的最新数据显示,在62个卫生区共报告了7200起埃博拉病例,死亡人数接近3500人。世界卫生组织疫情应对流行病学与分析部门负责人奥利维耶·勒波兰(Olivier le Polain)博士表示,该病毒目前已蔓延至七个省份,覆盖了非常广阔的地理区域。\n\n尽管应对行动的规模史无前例,但疫情仍在继续扩大。\n\n自5月中旬宣布进入紧急状态以来,联合国机构及其合作伙伴一直与当局合作,协助应对本迪布焦(Bundibugyo)埃博拉病毒疫情。\n\n然而,在这些资源丰富但当地民众经历了数十年暴力动荡和发展受挫的地区开展工作,面临着巨大的挑战。\n\n哈尔内斯先生解释说:在许多地区,道路上到处都是巨大的坑洞,甚至不能叫坑洞,卡车会直接陷入泥潭;在许多地区,即使是乘小型飞机,交通也十分复杂。此外,还有针对救援行动的暴力事件。
Ebola responders grapple with widening outbreak in DR Congo

The deadly Ebola virus outbreak in DR Congo continues to spread across the vast country despite some success in containing it, aid officials said on Tuesday, in a renewed call for international support to help responders on the ground.
“If we don’t have the resources, the epidemic will come back…it remains a deadly and massive epidemic,” stressed Julien Harneis, UN Special Ebola Coordinator.
Latest data from 12 September indicates 7,200 reported cases of Ebola and close to 3,500 deaths across 62 health zones, according to the UN World Health Organization (WHO). The virus is now present in seven provinces “covering a very vast geographic area”, said Dr Olivier le Polain, Unit Head for Epidemiology and Analytics for Response at WHO.
“Although the response has been unprecedented in its scale, the epidemic continues to expand.”
In partnership with the authorities, UN agencies and partners have been assisting in tackling the Ebola Bundibugyo virus outbreak since the emergency was declared in mid-May.
But there are immense challenges involved in working in resource-rich regions where populations have experienced decades of violent insecurity and development setbacks.
“[In] many areas, the roads are massive potholes – not even potholes – trucks disappear into the mud; [in] many areas, the access, even by small plane, is complicated. And then there’s violence against the response,” explained Mr. Harneis.
