Lituka Wenda Dety, 41, who is suffering from monkeypox, has lesions on her face examined by Alingo Likaka Manasse, (R), head nurse at the Yalanga Health Centre, and Theopiste Maloko, 42, (L) a local health official, in Yakusu, Tshopo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, October 2, 2022. At the height of her illness in August, Dety's throat was so sore she struggled to swallow her own saliva. Round scars still dot her body, and her bones ache. When she was ill in hospital, her six-month-old son caught monkeypox and died. He is buried in a patch of sandy earth beside her mud brick home. "We want there to be a vaccination campaign," she said. "Going by what we have suffered, if many people catch this disease it will be catastrophic." REUTERS/Arlette Bashizi
