VisitUNICEF Appeals for $59 Million to Combat Mpox Outbreak in Burundi, Children Under Five Affected
Sep 20, 2024, 05:40 PM
UNICEF has issued an urgent appeal for nearly $59 million to support efforts to halt the rapid spread of mpox in six African countries, including Burundi, where children under five are particularly affected. A third of Burundi's mpox cases are in children under five, making the situation critical. UNICEF emphasizes that fighting the stigma associated with mpox is key to ending the outbreak quickly. A UN health official noted that it is possible to end the mpox outbreak in Burundi within weeks, provided adequate resources are made available. Africa's second-largest mpox outbreak could be contained with enough resources.
