Ebola Devastates Congo Systematically
The Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations warns of a rapid outbreak of Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the epidemic is claiming a life every 30 minutes, with over 4,500 cases and 2,128 deaths since last May. This is considered the largest and fastest-spreading wave ever, with the potential to become one of the deadliest Ebola outbreaks in history. The virus is spreading across six provinces within the country and beyond, reaching Uganda and South Sudan. In response to the crisis, the United Nations has allocated more than $54.5 million to support health efforts and has dispatched additional support teams to enhance treatment and track the infected, aiming to control the spread and ensure safe burials for the victims.
