Ebola

Ebola is a virus originating in wild animals in western Africa. It is transmitted through bodily fluids. In May 2026, the WHO announced an international emergency after an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The image shows a group of humanitarian or health workers walking outdoors near a gated entrance. Two individuals are in the foreground, both wearing dark blue vests with official-looking logos, possibly indicating affiliation with an international health or aid organization. The person on the left is gesturing with one hand while walking forward. The person on the right, wearing glasses, is also walking and looking ahead. Behind them, several other individuals are visible, including someone wearing a light blue top and another with a backpack. In the background, there is a brown metal gate, a wall, and a white vehicle parked nearby. The setting appears to be in a sunny location, with bright daylight and clear shadows.
