WHO warns Ebola spreading rapidly in Congo
The World Health Organization has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is experiencing its widest spread in the country's history, reaching 54 health zones across six provinces. A total of 4,665 confirmed cases have been reported, along with 2,184 deaths, resulting in a case fatality rate of 46.8%. The worsening crisis is attributed to insecurity, displacement, and unrestricted movement of the population, which hinder health response efforts. Meanwhile, surveillance measures are being strengthened, treatment centers expanded, and healthcare workers trained to combat the rapid spread of the virus. Risks of the disease spreading beyond the country's borders remain, as the outbreak continues to escalate in several regions.
