UN Chief Appeals for $1.1 Billion in Ebola Aid for DR Congo

United Nations Secretary-General has issued an urgent appeal for $1.1 billion in international aid to combat the escalating Ebola outbreak currently devastating the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The funding is required to scale up emergency vaccination drives, improve medical infrastructure, and provide essential supplies to frontline health workers operating in high-risk zones.

The crisis has strained local healthcare systems, with the UN warning that without immediate global intervention, the disease could spread rapidly across regional borders.
