The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is approaching 7,800 cases and has killed more than 3,700 people, according to reports from CIDRAP and UN News.
The World Health Organization says the outbreak remains out of control while the country is running short of health workers needed to staff treatment centres, AP News and Sky News reported. Sky News described it as the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history.
The International Organization for Migration called the crisis the largest Ebola outbreak on record and appealed for urgent support. Wired reported that the outbreak was on track to become the largest ever.
The reported shortage of medical personnel is affecting the response as infections continue to rise. WHO’s warning focuses on staffing needs at treatment centres, where additional workers are required to care for patients during the expanding outbreak.
