WHO Raises Ebola Public Health Risk to 'Very High' in DR Congo The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has long been plagued by conflict and humanitarian crises, but the latest Ebola outbreak poses a danger that transcends borders.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed the risk level "very high," warning that this strain, Bundibugyo, has no approved vaccine or treatment.
In Ituri province, where the epicenter of the outbreak lies, the situation is dire. A ban on public gatherings has been implemented, and specialized teams are now responsible for conducting burials.
