WHO Calls for Community Cooperation to Curb Ebola Outbreak in DR Congo
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged community cooperation to contain the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, following protests over body-handling rules in Ituri province. The outbreak, declared a global health emergency, has recorded 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths in DR Congo, with Uganda confirming 9 cases. Tedros called for a ceasefire amid armed group clashes complicating relief efforts, while Brazil monitors two potential cases and MSF warns the spread is outpacing the response.
