A new strain of the mpox virus spreading quickly along the eastern border of Democratic Republic of Congo is "incredibly worrying", say health officials.
Global health experts warn the new variant could lead to cross-border and international spread, with one calling it the "most dangerous strain yet".
Poor access to vaccines and treatments in DR Congo poses a challenge in containing the outbreak, raising concerns that the virus could reach other countries.
