Ebola's Hidden Toll: A Crisis Exposed by Delayed Response The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been grappling with its second deadliest Ebola outbreak, which began in February but went undetected for months before being declared.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that over 2,000 people have lost their lives to the virus, a grim testament to the catastrophic consequences of delayed response efforts.
As of now, the case fatality rate stands at an alarming 45. 9 percent, surpassing the 39. 6 percent recorded in the devastating West Africa outbreak between 2014 and 2016.
