Outbreak Widening: The epidemic has reached 60 health zones across six provinces, and WHO says the curve is slowing but not bending, with deaths still occurring heavily in communities. Health System Strain: The UN highlights conflict-driven displacement, food insecurity, and malnutrition as forces that worsen the health emergency and complicate access to care.
