DRC battles yellow fever epidemic in Kinshasa

The Democratic Republic of Congo has declared yellow fever epidemic in three provinces, including the capital, Kinshasa.

Minister of Health, Felix Kabange said 67 cases of the disease had been confirmed, and five people are reported dead.

Earlier this month, the World Health Organization, WHO, said it was concerned about a shortage in yellow fever vaccines, which have been depleted largely because of the epidemic in Angola.
