00:00From what I've seen, children in Burundi are bearing the brunt of the Mpox outbreak
00:07with alarming rates of infection and health impacts.
00:12But of particular concern for us as UNICEF is the rise of Mpox among children under five years.
00:19This represents about 30% of the reported cases
00:24and this underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions.
00:28This is very concerning because of the direct consequences to these children.
00:34And in most situations, you know, these are children who have low immunity
00:40and they are suffering from other underlying problems.
00:43For example, they might be having HIV, they might have pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea.
00:49And with Mpox, you will need critical treatment to be able to avoid them from dying.
