Oxfam warns that the true scale of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo may be underestimated and that the virus could be spreading “undetected.” The charity’s statement follows reports of a high number of new cases in a single day, with 72 additional infections recorded in one day. Oxfam says this suggests the outbreak’s impact may be greater than official figures reflect, citing concerns about detection and reporting. The warning comes as the outbreak continues after the first cases were identified in the country last month. While sources focus on the charity’s assessment and the recent daily case count, they do not provide additional independent figures, causes of undercounting, or details about specific interventions. The reports therefore center on Oxfam’s call for heightened attention to surveillance and case detection, alongside the reported jump in daily case numbers.
