    <description>The abstract frames the outbreak as a major Ebola control challenge in a conflict-affected and socially complex setting. It identifies surveillance, contact tracing, laboratory capacity, IPC, clinical care, risk communication, misinformation management, and community trust as priority areas for outbreak response and preparedness.</description>
