DRC Ebola death toll rapidly increasingfrom JEAN KASSONGO in Kinshasa, DRCKINSHASA, (CAJ News) – IT is feared the latest outbreak of the Ebola virus that has killed at least 75 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is going to be the most fatal in the region. Some 112 cases of the virus have been confirmed since the outbreak in the North Kivu Province on August 1. The outbreak has spread to areas almost entirely surrounded by armed militants, making the delivery of health services even more challenging. She said the international community must learn from 2014 when the worst Ebola outbreak in modern history swept across West Africa. “Without a swift, concerted and efficient response, this outbreak has the potential to be the worst ever seen,” Gayer warned.
