WHO:

all of the severe cases were severely malnourished.
kids in Panzi are primarily affected.
the overall risk level to the affected communities is high.
..national level, the risk is considered moderate
.. regional & global levels, the risk remains low, for now
But, Panzi is close to Angola, and monitoring is essential
