The Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak has intensified, with reports of at least ten student deaths as the virus spreads within the country. Neighboring Kenya has responded by confirming its first cases, bringing the total to seven, including health workers who treated the initial patient. This cross‑border transmission has prompted Kenya to place the nation on high alert, highlighting the risk of further spread across Central Africa. Health officials stress the urgency of coordinated surveillance, vaccination campaigns, and border monitoring to contain the disease and prevent a wider regional health crisis. [[1, 2]]
