The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Nigeria are currently facing serious outbreaks of Ebola and cholera. These health crises have been made worse by a lack of basic infrastructure and poor public services.

剛果民主共和國 (DRC) 與尼日利亞目前正 facing 嚴重的伊波拉與霍亂爆發。由於缺乏基本基礎設施及公共服務不佳，這些健康危機變得更加嚴重。

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is caused by the Bundibugyo strain. Because there is no approved vaccine or specific medicine for this strain, doctors must rely on general supportive care. Most cases are concentrated in the Ituri province, which accounts for about 90% to 95% of all infections. The disease has spread quickly in crowded areas, such as the Kigonze camp for displaced people and local orphanages. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasized that the medical workforce has been hit hard, with 75 healthcare workers infected and 17 deaths reported.

剛果民主共和國的伊波拉爆發是由 Bundibugyo 菌株引起的。由於此菌株沒有經批准的疫苗或特定藥物，醫生必須依賴一般的支持性治療。大多數病例集中在伊圖里省 (Ituri province)，約佔所有感染人數的 90% 至 95%。該疾病在擁擠地區傳播迅速，例如 Kigonze 移居者營地及當地孤兒院。此外，世界衛生組織 (WHO) 強調醫療人力遭受沉重打擊，共有 75 名醫護人員感染，並通報 17 例死亡。

Efforts to control the virus are difficult because some communities resist testing and safe burial practices. Additionally, funding for water and sanitation (WASH) services has decreased due to policy changes in the United States. Consequently, sanitary facilities like latrines have failed, and international organizations such as Mercy Corps and Oxfam have had to reduce their projects. This has led to more contamination in crowded camps. Meanwhile, Nigeria is fighting a cholera outbreak in Borno state. This increase in illness is linked to weak health systems after years of conflict and a severe lack of clean drinking water, as only 14% of the population has access to safe water services. As a result, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has had to expand treatment centers in Maiduguri to handle the rising number of patients.

控制病毒的努力十分困難，因為部分社區抵制檢測與安全埋葬做法。此外，由於美國的政策變動，水資源與衛生 (WASH) 服務的資金有所減少。因此，如廁所等衛生設施失效，導致 Mercy Corps 與 Oxfam 等國際組織不得不縮減其項目。這導致擁擠的營地出現更多污染。與此同時，尼日利亞正在博爾諾州 (Borno state) 應對霍亂爆發。病例增加與多年衝突後醫療系統脆弱以及嚴重缺乏乾淨飲用水有關，僅有 14% 的人口能使用安全用水服務。因此，無國界醫生 (MSF) 必須在邁杜古里 (Maiduguri) 擴展治療中心，以處理不斷增加的患者。

The health situation in the region remains dangerous due to the combination of viral and bacterial diseases and the lack of proper sanitation systems.

由於病毒與細菌疾病交織，加上缺乏適當的衛生系統，該地區的健康狀況依然危險。
