WHO says it is ‘playing catch-up’ in fight against Ebola
The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges delays in responding to the Ebola outbreak in central Africa, with 10 countries at high risk. Travel bans from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have been imposed, while the U.S. established a quarantine facility in Kenya. Misinformation is hindering efforts, as up to a third of people in the outbreak's epicenter doubt the virus's existence.
