🇨🇩 WHO alarmed that many Ebola deaths in DR Congo occur in communities

The World Health Organization has said it is alarmed that many Ebola deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo are occurring in communities rather than in health facilities. According to the report, confirmed cases have surged past 9,000 and the death toll has exceeded 4,300, with many infections not detected while patients are still alive.

The figures point to continued gaps in case detection and treatment access during the outbreak response in DR Congo.
