An unknown disease has killed 143 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's southwestern province. Infected individuals experienced flu-like symptoms such as high fever and severe headaches. Local authorities have sent a medical team to collect samples and identify the disease. The number of infected people continues to rise, and there is a shortage of medicines in the rural health zone, leading to deaths due to lack of treatment. The World Health Organization has been alerted and is collaborating with Congo's public health ministry for further investigations.
