Lisungi Lifafu, 12, has his eyes checked by a nurse at the Yalolia health centre, in Yakusu, Tshopo, Democratic Republic of Congo, October 3, 2022. Without treatment, Lisungi can only wait for the illness to run its course. Ahead of him lies a myriad of possible outcomes including recovery, blindness, or, as was the case with a family member in August, death. "These children have a disease that makes them suffer so much," said Lisungi's father Litumbe Lifafu. "We demand the government provides medicines for us poor farmers, and the vaccine to fight this disease." REUTERS/Arlette Bashizi
