The World's Response to Ebola: A Tale of Two Speeds WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been urging urgent action against the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) latest Ebola outbreak for months.
His visit to Kinshasa, the capital city, highlighted the crisis's alarming acceleration.
As of Monday, there were 3,874 confirmed cases and 1,751 deaths, with new cases doubling in some hotspots over the past week alone. The gap between the world's response and affected communities is widening.
