WHO signals hope as Ebola transmission slows in DRC’s Ituri

Health officials are finally seeing a sliver of hope in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The World Health Organization says Ebola transmission is slowing down in Ituri, the outbreak's hardest-hit province. While the toll remains devastating—with over 7,200 cases and 3,500 deaths reported across seven provinces—medical teams are gaining vital ground. It’s a quiet sign of progress, though responders warn the fight is far from over.
