In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, over 25.4 million people need humanitarian aid as they endure persistent insecurity and violence, highlighting an overwhelming crisis.
Congo's health minister reported 16,700 mpox cases, with over 570 deaths, as the disease predominantly affects children under 15, who comprise over 70% of cases.
The NGO Medair established a dispensary at Munigi health centre to treat mpox patients amid widespread unawareness, particularly in camps like Mudja.
Experts cite malnourishment in children as a factor contributing to their vulnerability to mpox, which has led to severe outbreaks and high fatality rates.
