The World Health Organisation has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is on track to become the deadliest on record.
More than two-thousand people have died in the eastern DRC out of more than four-thousand-300 recorded cases.
The 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa remains the deadliest on record, having claimed more than eleven-thousand lives out of roughly 28-thousand cases.
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says they hope to reverse the spread of the disease within three months.
“Under the leadership of the government we are now scaling out every part of the response, with a primary call of interrupting transmission,” said the Secretary General.
