Pope Leo Calls for Action on Congo's Ebola Outbreak
Pope Leo addressed pilgrims in Saint Peter’s Square during his weekly Sunday prayer, urging action on the Ebola outbreak in Congo. This outbreak is the 17th Ebola epidemic in the country and has rapidly spread across a vast area, resulting in a record number of infections and deaths.
According to United Nations officials, it became the largest outbreak in Congo's history in late July, surpassing the previous record set during the outbreak from 2018 to 2020. The situation is critical, and the Pope's call for action highlights the urgent need for international support and intervention to combat the epidemic.
