Mysterious ‘flu-like disease’ claims over 79 lives in DR Congo

A mysterious disease with flu-like symptoms has claimed at least 79 lives, primarily affecting young people aged 15 to 18, in the south-western Democratic Republic of Congo, according to UK state broadcaster BBC.

Over 300 people in the Panzi health zone of Kwango Province have reported symptoms including fever, headaches, breathing difficulties, and anemia. Authorities have dispatched response teams to the affected rural area, where limited medical supplies and resources complicate containment efforts. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also sent a team to collect samples for laboratory investigation. Local leaders describe the situation as alarming, with cases steadily rising and Panzi hospital overwhelmed by the crisis.

Authorities have urged the public to maintain hygiene, avoid large gatherings, and handle deceased individuals only under medical supervision. The outbreak has placed further strain on a nation already grappling with multiple health crises, including a “severe mpox epidemic” and recurring Ebola outbreaks. Calls for international assistance have grown louder as health facilities struggle to cope. Efforts are now focused on identifying the cause of the disease to prevent further spread and provide adequate treatment.

  1. “The outbreak has placed further strain on a nation already grappling with multiple health crises, including a “severe mpox epidemic” and recurring Ebola outbreaks”.
    Has WHO got a bio-lab there? They are desperate to get another scamdemic started.

  2. Yeah they’re dying, but they’re dying healthier.
    The WHO & CDC’s been getting them up to date on many vaccine schedules.

  3. Bill Gates been visiting Africa again? They have to roll out a new mysterious disease to keep the sheep fearful, the old Ebola, Covid, Bird Flu, Swine Flu and Monkey Pox scams have done their dash in the fearmongering arena.

  4. These ‘outbreaks’ are so frigging suspicious, yet the mainstream media inform us as if they are mere unfortunate natural events, are they,?Really?

  5. If there is a depopulation agenda, then Africa was always the primary target, even though The West and the BRICS were attacked first.
