There have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 deaths in Africa this year , WHO says.
So far, more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in a single country — Congo .
Scientists are concerned by the spread of a new version of the disease there that might be more easily transmitted among people.
The new form of mpox causes milder symptoms and lesions on the genitals.
Save the Children is particularly worried about the spread of mpox in the crowded camps for refugees in the east.
The country's health system is already "collapsing" under the strain of malnutrition, measles and cholera.
It's unclear why children are so disproportionately hit by mpox.
