Mpox Sweeps Through Camps for Displaced People in DRC

In Democratic Republic of Congo, more than 7 million people live in shelters after widespread conflict pushed them from their homes. The overcrowded camps lack basic sanitation, making them breeding grounds for mpox, a virus transmitted by skin-to-skin and other close contact. More than 20,000 people in the country are believed to have the virus. These images were taken on Aug. 22, 2024, at Munigi, a camp near Goma, DRC, made up of approximately 14,000 households.
