The majority of sick are children around the age of 5.  Some news media reports the actual deaths could be high as 140.DRC lacks proper medical infrastructure. Clinics may be few and far between, especially in remote areas, and are often understaffed. Indeed, the DRC has fewer than two doctors per 10,000 population.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":-(" title="Frown    :-(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":-(" /> [MEDIA=youtube]6SsX3O-fudQ[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
