The Democratic Republic of Congo has reported a significant surge in confirmed Ebola cases, with over 11,000 documented infections. This represents a major escalation in the outbreak affecting the Central African nation.

In response to the outbreak, Israel has maintained heightened health vigilance following the hospitalisation of four individuals who returned from Africa and were isolated for observation. The Ministry of Health has issued warnings against travel to the affected region and has clarified that ‘Ebola is not transmitted through the air’, addressing potential public concerns about airborne transmission.

Israel’s medical system remains on standby as authorities assess preparedness for potential cases. The ministry’s communication emphasises both the seriousness of the outbreak and the specific transmission characteristics of the virus to manage public response appropriately.
