WHO warns Ebola outbreak in DRC remains high amid violence
The World Health Organization warned on November 13 that Ebola transmission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remained at a high level, with weekly case numbers unchanged and attacks on health facilities hampering containment efforts. The warning followed data released by the Congolese Health Ministry on November 11, which showed the outbreak had infected 11,042 people and killed 5,387 across eight provinces amid ongoing conflict and health-system challenges. Earlier reports had noted that the case count had just passed 11,000.
