The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 8,000 cases, with North Kivu province becoming a new hotspot.
A young doctor has died of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, months after the virus first appeared in the Tshopo province. This death comes as cases surge in North Kivu province, which has become a new hotspot for the outbreak. The Kitatumba Ebola treatment centre in North Kivu is reportedly at full capacity.
The Ebola outbreak, which has now surpassed 8,000 cases and nearly 4,000 deaths, continues to challenge health teams. While cases have slowed in the Ituri province, the shift to North Kivu complicates containment efforts. International partners, including the EU and US, have pledged further financial support to address the persistent spread.
