WHO: Ebola in Congo Escalates
The World Health Organization is downplaying the fact that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has spiraled out of control, recording the highest weekly rates of infections and deaths since the beginning of the outbreak, with 3,605 cases and 1,587 deaths reported so far. Efforts to combat the virus are facing security and humanitarian challenges, such as armed conflicts and difficulties in reaching those infected. There is a possibility that the actual number of cases is higher than the official figures, increasing the risk of the virus spreading to neighboring countries.
