The World Health Organization has declared a global public health emergency due to the rapid spread of a new, more lethal strain of monkeypox. Originating in Central Africa, the disease has already caused over 87,000 infections and 140 deaths in the past. Monkeypox is transmitted through close contact and can be fatal, with the new strain being identified as the 'most dangerous ever' by scientists. The WHO emphasizes the need for a coordinated international response to control this outbreak in Africa and prevent further global spread.
