The latest report that I can find is the WHO report from Dec 27th that says 48 deaths between Oct 24 and Dec 16

https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2024-DON547

But notably this is lower than the previous number from the local health department linked in the market description which said 67 people died between Nov 10 and 26

I assume WHO is considered reputable, or do you require secondary reporting by journalists?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen oh yeah WHO or other govt agencies are considered reputable publications
