Deaths in Ebola outbreak surge 63%—Is Congo facing a wider pandemic threat?
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to escalate. Cases have risen sharply, with a 63% increase in deaths reported recently. Towns are currently under lockdown to contain the spread.
According to the WHO, 31 out of 38 confirmed cases have tragically resulted in fatalities. Vaccination efforts are underway, but reaching remote communities remains a challenge.
