DR Congo facing 'catastrophic collision' of Ebola and war, WHO chief warns
"Eastern DRC now faces a catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X. The WHO has recorded 10 confirmed Ebola deaths and 220 suspected deaths in DR Congo since mid-May, while also recording a further 900 suspected cases since Kinshasa declared the outbreak on May 15. The United Nations' health agency said the true spread of the virus was probably much wider.
