标题:Caught Flat-Footed, a City Races to Catch Up With Ebola
正文:Since an Ebola outbreak was declared in Bunia, a bustling city in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, global alarms have gone off. Borders have slammed shut, flights have been diverted and the Congolese World Cup team is currently in quarantine in Belgium. Yet here in Bunia, at the heart of the crisis, the usual signs of an organized response are not yet in place. Outside Bunia’s main hospital, workers scrambled to erect isolation wards where patients can be triaged, isolated and treated. “The virus is far ahead of us,” said Ahmed Mahat, a manager with International Medical Corps. “And it’s spreading fast.”
