The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the deadliest in the country's history, according to RFI English and Punch Nigeria. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that it is "far from being under control," as reported by Punch Nigeria.
The outbreak has surpassed the 2018-2020 epidemic, with the WHO expressing concerns that infected people remain outside treatment centers, transmission chains go undetected, and patients seek care too late, as stated by France 24.
Despite these challenges, a WHO official, as reported by RTE News and New Straits Times, remains hopeful that the outbreak can be brought under control. The WHO has raised about 60% of the $115 million it is seeking for the Ebola response, and containment efforts are ramping up, including the addition of 400 beds in the past two weeks, according to New Straits Times.
