mpox formerly known as monkeypox is at greater risk of becoming a wider global emergency, according to aid workers and global health experts.

The World Health Organization declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern last August as cases rose in the Democratic Republic of Congo .

USAid has been working to contain the virus through vaccination, testing and surveillance efforts on the ground.

Three USAid workers described the chaos of being pulled from the Democratic Republic of Congo on 28 January as part of a federal lawsuit filed by unions representing federal workers.

After protests broke out in Kinshasa , the embassy issued an order to evacuate.

With foreign aid frozen, Washington offices closed and many colleagues placed on administrative leave, USAid employees had little communication and forced to fund their own evacuations.
