WHO reports Ebola outbreak escalation in Congo
The World Health Organization has announced that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has spiraled out of control, with the number of cases exceeding 3,500 within just a few months, surpassing the worst epidemic wave of 2018-2020. This outbreak occurs amid ongoing security challenges in the eastern part of the country, where approximately 90% of the cases are reported in Ituri Province, which is suffering from armed conflicts that hinder efforts to control the virus. Ebola is a severe hemorrhagic fever transmitted through contact with bodily fluids, and it has claimed the lives of over 15,000 people across Africa over the past decades, including around 2,300 deaths in the last wave between 2018 and 2020.
