Sierra Leone is experiencing a severe mpox outbreak, with over 3,000 cases and 15 deaths reported this month. The outbreak is driven by the same strain as the 2022 global crisis and is spreading rapidly, particularly in Freetown's crowded neighborhoods. Sexual contact is a key driver, and health officials fear the rainy season will worsen the situation, potentially expanding the outbreak beyond Sierra Leone's borders.
