In the east of Congo is a bad sickness. It is the Ebola-Virus. Since April die more than 1.500 people. The virus spreads fast. Experts say: It is the fastest spread ever. The number of sick people doubles every 20 days.
The helpers have big problems. In the region are many fights. This makes help dangerous. Many people trust the doctors not. They have fear of the hospitals. Often come sick people late to care. Then help is not possible.
Against this kind of Ebola is no medicine. Almost half of the sick people die from the fever. The helpers need money and workers. Many health centers close. The virus moves through body contact. Family members get sick often.
