UN issues alert on Congo Ebola surge
The World Health Organization has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, with cases doubling in some areas within a week. To date, the country has reported 3,874 confirmed cases and 1,751 deaths, marking the fastest spread in the disease's history and the second largest outbreak after the West Africa epidemic between 2014 and 2016. The situation is worsening due to the absence of an approved vaccine or treatment for the "Bundibugyo" strain, in addition to security issues and resource shortages, with approximately 90% of the cases concentrated in eastern Ituri, which is experiencing population displacement.
