The Democratic Republic of Congo is currently facing a fast-growing outbreak of the Bundibugyo Ebola virus. This situation has led to a high number of deaths and has put a great deal of pressure on the country's healthcare system.

剛果民主共和國目前正 facing 一次快速增長的 Bundibugyo 埃博拉病毒疫情。這種情況導致了大量死亡，並給該國的醫療體系帶來了巨大壓力。

The current outbreak is spreading at an alarming rate. Data shows that the number of cases in the first six weeks was higher than during the 2013-2016 West African outbreak. So far, 1,759 cases have been confirmed and 600 people have died, which means the fatality rate is 34 percent. Most cases are in the Ituri province, but the virus has also been found in North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tshopo. Because there is no approved vaccine for this specific strain, doctors are using supportive care and starting clinical trials for new treatments like remdesivir.

目前的疫情正以令人擔心的速度傳播。數據顯示，前六週的病例數高於 2013-2016 年西非爆發期間。截至目前，已確認 1,759 例病例，600 人死亡，這意味著致死率為 34%。大多數病例位於 Ituri 省，但病毒也出現在北基伍省、南基伍省和 Tshopo 省。由於這種特定菌株沒有核准的疫苗，醫生目前使用支持性治療，並針對 remdesivir 等新療法展開臨床試驗。

Several social and political problems are making it difficult to control the virus. For example, active conflict and the movement of displaced people in eastern DRC make it hard to track contacts and monitor the disease. Furthermore, many local people do not trust health officials due to past instability and the spread of false information. This has led to violent attacks on medical staff and the refusal of safe burial practices. Additionally, the government has failed to pay frontline workers, which has caused instability and potential strikes among staff in Ituri.

若干社會與政治問題使得病毒難以控制。例如，剛果民主共和國東部的激烈衝突和流離失所者的移動，使得追蹤接觸者和監控疾病變得困難。此外，由於過去的不穩定和錯誤資訊的傳播，許多當地人並不信任衛生官員。這導致醫療人員遭到暴力攻擊，且部分人拒絕採取安全的埋葬習俗。此外，政府未能支付前線工作者的薪資，導致 Ituri 的員工出現不穩定情況，並可能引發罷工。

Financial problems are also slowing down the response. The Africa CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) have stated that 1.4 billion USD is needed for a full medical response. However, there is a gap between the money promised and the money actually received. Consequently, there are not enough diagnostic tools or hospital beds, with treatment centers currently operating at 90 percent capacity. To solve this, the Africa CDC emphasized that Africa needs more control over its own health systems, including the local production of medicines.

財務問題也減緩了應對速度。非洲疾控中心（Africa CDC）與世界衛生組織（WHO）表示，全面的醫療應對需要 14 億美元。然而，承諾資金與實際收到的金額之間存在差距。因此，診斷工具或醫院病床不足，治療中心目前的運作率已達 90%。為了解決這個問題，非洲疾控中心強調，非洲需要對其自身的衛生體系擁有更多控制權，包括本地藥品生產。

The outbreak is still growing. To stop it, the international community must provide immediate funding and work to rebuild trust within the local communities.

疫情仍在擴散。為了阻止疫情，國際社會必須立即提供資金，並努力重建當地社區的信任。
