Goma (DRC), April 30 (EFE).- The recent Ebola outbreak in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has left more than 2,200 dead since 2018.FOOTAGE COURTESY OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC).
Measles has killed more than 5,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo since January -- more than double the toll in the country's Ebola epidemic -- the World Health Organization says IMAGES
This week it was an oil tanker that rescued desperate migrants, last week it was a cruise ship. On most days, however, it's the Italian navy doing the rescuing - at a record rate. New figures put the number of migrants killed since the start of the year in the Mediterranean Sea at more than 3,000. Is it really a risk worth taking? And what reception are migrants getting on a continent where the rise of the far-right shows that even the most welcoming states are shutting their doors?
The World Health Organization again apologises to the victims who suffered rape and sexual abuse by workers sent to fight Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2018 to 2020.
At least 16 people were killed and eight injured in an attack by suspected Allied Democratic Forces rebels, the military said.
