Ebola cases rise in DRC amid protests

Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo have climbed to 676, with health officials still struggling to contain the outbreak. The current situation is already the third-largest on record, and fears are mounting that it could escalate significantly if interventions are not swift and robust. Meanwhile, US plans to establish a quarantine facility in Kenya have sparked violent protests, with citizens accusing their government of prioritizing foreign aid over national security. This has led to diplomatic tensions and concerns about the effectiveness of international outbreak responses.
