The World Health Organization said on the 4th that since this year, cholera has caused about 1,800 deaths in the Congo. People are worried that the outbreak may spread further or affect the capital Kinshasa. WHO Director-General Tedros Tedros said the Congo is experiencing “the worst cholera outbreak in decades” and has now recorded around 60,000 cases. The majority of cases occurred in North Kivu and South Kivu provinces in the east of the country, but “it is worrying that cases have now also occurred in the Congo River basin, which means the outbreak may spread to the capital Kinshasa”.
