Dorcas Mapenzi, a resident of the Kingonze camp, said an Ebola outbreak would be difficult to contain because residents live in close quarters. The camp houses more than 25,000 displaced people in the conflict-hit eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mapenzi said residents are "packed like sardines," increasing the risk of rapid disease transmission if Ebola arrives. The camp was established to shelter people displaced by ongoing conflict in the region. Health workers have not reported any confirmed Ebola cases in the camp as of the current date.
