The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) could become even deadlier than the worst outbreak on record, which claimed more than 11,000 lives, according to the head of Africa’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC). Response efforts have been slowed by a shortage of treatment centres and resistance within local communities to strict hygiene measures. More than a month after the outbreak was declared, health officials say its true scale remains unclear.
What part of Texas is this in? I''m hearing nothing about this in Arizona, and we're really close to Texas.
“Experts”… the WHO at it again. German leftist sensationalism as usual.
I have my supplies backed-up & ready. Covid taught me well. No more of this please.
I’ve noticed that DW studio speakers and some narration sound like they’re in a metal tunnel… hopefully this can be fixed. It is tolerable, but annoying.
This particular segment has some of the worst audio overall that I’ve heard in awhile.
africa is waiting for you
Pray for Africa
On what basis?
The military governor is not in good relationship with the locals? Where does this reporter takes this from? NGO, please you can ask for money without lying
The good news is if ebola gets you, you won't have to slowly starve to death.
congo population 109.3 million 676 confirmed cases, including 136 deaths,yet news media is trying to tell us its a planet killer so they can sell ads.Globally, approximately 3,250 people die in car accidents every day, which amounts to about 1.19 million fatalities annually.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money gets sinked to try to fix this, unless the locals themselves stop eating bushmeat, these incidences will continue to repeat.
The cause and foundation of the Ebola problems is Italy and France Paris and America,,,, in jesus mighty names Amen,,,, salam Aleikum,, wa Aleikum salam
I pray for good health in Congo in jesus mighty names Amen,,, salam Aleikum,, wa Aleikum salam
The sound is really bad. Nevertheless…I feel bad for those taking this seriously n the innocent children who'll be effected. Due to the unbelievable behavior from ones making this worse! Why tf would you burn down facilities there to help?!! Inexcusable for the family of the person who passed away causing such chaos n burning it to the ground. Leading another who passed to be burned. Leaving their family more heartbreak. If they don't want the help, then what more can you offer. Unbelievable n terrible for those innocent souls trying to survive an already hard life.
If not mistaken, Congo resident wants to be left alone.
