Africa

On Tuesday, The World Health Organization said that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo could worsen rapidly due to attacks by armed groups, community resistance and the geographic spread of the disease.

“We are now extremely concerned that several factors may be coming together over the next weeks and months to create a perfect storm,” WHO’s head of emergency response Peter Salama told a news conference in Geneva.
