Executive summary
Over the next 30 days, the Ebola resurgence in central Africa is likely to spread to additional districts and potentially cross at least one national border, stressing already fragile health systems. International crisis financing and humanitarian agencies will face hard trade-offs as competing emergencies—from Ukraine to Middle Eastern tensions—constrain resource allocations. Delays in containment efforts and vaccination campaigns will increase mortality risk and disrupt local economies.
