How and why does Ebola relate to social conflict?

Ebola can exacerbate social conflict due to its impact on public health, economic stability, and social trust. Outbreaks often lead to fear and misinformation, resulting in stigmatization of affected communities and a breakdown of social cohesion. Additionally, the strain on healthcare systems and resources can intensify existing inequalities and tensions, leading to conflicts over access to care and support. Furthermore, the government's response to outbreaks can be perceived as inadequate or oppressive, fueling distrust and unrest.
