An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Kasai province is worsening, with health responders reporting critical funding shortages. The outbreak, identified in late August, has surged to 57 cases and 35 deaths, a 61% fatality rate. Poor infrastructure and overwhelmed health facilities exacerbate the crisis. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the WHO have appealed for millions in urgent funding to contain the spread and protect vulnerable communities.
