Ebola in DRC: North Kivu deaths nearly double weekly; WHO warns of exponential spread

WHO reports Ebola transmission accelerating in North Kivu, with weekly deaths nearly doubling, while other regions show slowing spread. The outbreak has reached 7,200 confirmed cases and 3,475 deaths, with the epidemiological situation described as 'heterogeneous.' The uneven trajectory complicates containment and raises risk of regional spillover.
