UN warns of exponential spread of Ebola outbreak in DR Congo

UN responders warned on Friday that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is spreading at an exponential rate. The international body stated that this crisis represents the deadliest Ebola outbreak in the country's history. Given the critical shortage of funding for lifesaving operations, responders have issued an urgent appeal for immediate international support to contain the disease. Existing financial resources for addressing this emergency have reached critically low levels.
