Ebola în Congo: Peste 6.000 de cazuri și aproape 3.000 de morți

The Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 6,000 confirmed cases, with 2,911 deaths reported. The World Health Organization warns that the epidemic is still spreading uncontrollably, exacerbated by insecurity and population displacement. The outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, has led to vaccination efforts for healthcare workers, while clinical studies are ongoing for a specific vaccine. Security incidents have hindered response efforts, and measures to limit virus spread have impacted daily life in affected provinces. The risk of cross-border transmission remains high, particularly to neighboring countries.
