Epidemia de Ebola din Congo, departe de a fi ținută sub control. OMS avertizează asupra riscului de răspândire internațională - WOWbiz.ro

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is escalating, with the WHO warning of a high risk of international spread. As of now, around 5,000 infections and over 2,300 deaths have been reported. The outbreak, declared on May 15, is particularly severe in the northern and eastern regions, where access and security issues hinder response efforts. The WHO emphasizes the need for increased intervention and resources to protect the population. The current outbreak is already the second deadliest in history, with a rapid increase in cases compared to previous epidemics. Trust issues within communities complicate medical interventions, and the EU plans to send testing kits to aid in the response.
