No Grounds to Declare Emergency of Int'l Concern Amid DRC Ebola Outbreak - WHO

18 October 2018, 01:42 GMT

The ministry pointed out that the current outbreak of Ebola is the most difficult the world ever faced as the response measures faced problems over the unstable security situation in the disease-hit region.

The Ebola virus is transmitted to humans from wild animals and is estimated by the WHO to have a 50-percent fatality rate. Ebola is named after the DR Congo's Ebola River, near which the virus was discovered by a team of Professor Peter Piot in 1976.
