WHO declares Ebola outbreak ‘public health emergency’

Available for over a year

The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo a "public health emergency of international concern". The country’s Health Minister has welcomed the designation. The number of fatal drug overdoses in the United States has fallen for the first time in almost thirty years. It's a welcome decline as the US struggles to contain a surge in the consumption of opioids and other prescription painkillers. Mexicans are deeply frustrated with immigrants in their country, with more than 60% of people describing them as a burden, according to a new survey conducted by The Washington Post and Mexico’s Reforma newspaper.
