The World Health Organization has warned of a high regional risk from the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, while assessing the global risk as low. Efforts to contain the virus are hampered by weak infrastructure and conflict in the war-torn region, raising concerns about the outbreak's potential severity and duration.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is grappling with an intensifying Ebola outbreak, characterized by a rare and rapidly spreading strain, a lack of medical supplies, and a rising number of suspected cases and deaths. International health organizations are concerned about the outbreak's growth and its impact, particularly on children.

Iran has issued a stern warning that any resumption of US attacks would lead to a war that would spread "far beyond the region." Iranian officials stated that their devastating strikes would crush any aggressors.

The World Health Organization has issued warnings about a worsening Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda, reporting hundreds of suspected cases and over a hundred deaths. The WHO assesses the risk as high regionally but low globally, while efforts are underway to fund clinics and develop a vaccine.
