The World Health Organization has called for an immediate ceasefire in Ituri province, DRC, to contain an Ebola outbreak with over 900 confirmed or suspected cases and nearly 220 deaths.
A new Ebola outbreak in DRC's eastern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu has emerged, prompting the WHO to declare an international public health emergency and testing international solidarity.
The World Health Organization has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is outpacing response efforts, urging neighboring countries to take immediate action.
The head of the World Health Organization has raised the alarm over the speed of the current Ebola outbreak in central Africa, which has so far claimed at least 220 lives.
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that the fast-moving Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda was outpacing response efforts, giving the latest number of suspected deaths as 220.
The head of the World Health Organization said Friday that the Ebola outbreak in Congo is 'spreading rapidly' and now poses a 'very high' risk at the national level.
