I found something.

What did you find?

The place.

I'm going to come back here with proof.

The head of the WHO has been here the last couple of days, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus.

There are, you know, aid agencies are present here.

There's certainly some supplies coming in.

I was at the opening of a new isolation ward in the city this morning.

But up there in those rural areas where the greatest number of cases are found, for a whole combination of factors, very little aid has reached there so far.

This outbreak is thought to have started probably six weeks, maybe two months ago, but was only discovered and declared two weeks ago.

So the entire effort is far behind the curve, which means there's very little reliable data about how much it has spread.

Very little aid has reached there so far.

And, you know, they're in a crisis situation, which, of course, is bad, terrible news for the people who are already sick.

But it also means that the spread of this virus is, frankly, unknown and probably still uncontained.

Well, after 18 months of a pretty brutal siege led by this paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, which had been trying to seize control of this city called al-Fasher.

It was the last major urban center in western Sudan that was beyond its control.

It finally broke the siege and its troops seized the entire city.
