Refugees affected by monkeypox in Mudja camp

Refugees walk in the camp for internal displaced persons in Mudja, Democratic Republic of Congo, August 20, 2024. Democratic Republic of Congo’s Health Minister Samuel-Boger Kamba said the death toll due to the mpox outbreak now stands at 'a little more than 570 deaths.' The World Health Organization has declared the rise in mpox cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and neighboring countries a public health emergency, with over 27,000 cases and more than 1,100 deaths reported since January 2023. Symptoms include fever, body aches, and rashes, and while there is no specific treatment for mpox, supportive care can aid recovery. The virus spreads through close contact with infected individuals and can persist on contaminated surfaces.
