UNICEF: Ebola kills 330 children in Congo 

0

Shafaqna English- 330 child deaths caused by Ebola have been recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

UNICEF warned on Thursday, August 6, on its official page that the Ebola outbreak, in addition to directly threatening children’s health, has significantly reduced visits by children and families to healthcare centres.

The agency said that fear of contracting the virus and disruptions in the delivery of health services have limited families’ access to medical care and could have serious consequences for children’s health.
