Eastern Congo is battling one of its most dangerous Ebola outbreaks in years. The WHO has declared it a public health emergency of international concern and identified it as the third-largest outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain on record. So far, over 900 suspected cases have been recorded, including 101 confirmed infections, along with at least 220 suspected deaths.
“We are now playing catch-up with a very fast-moving epidemic,” said WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as reported by AP.
