Congo authorities report more than 6,000 confirmed Ebola cases and nearly 3,000 deaths

Congo's health authorities reported over 6,000 confirmed Ebola cases and nearly 3,000 deaths, marking the fastest-growing outbreak in history. The epidemic, driven by the Bundibugyo virus, spreads rapidly in conflict-affected areas with poor infrastructure and limited access to healthcare. Security challenges, including attacks on response teams, hinder efforts to contain the disease. While some recovery has occurred, the outbreak continues to expand beyond monitored contact networks. The World Health Organization warns the crisis could surpass the 2014-2016 West African outbreak. In response, Congo has begun vaccinating frontline workers with the Ervebo vaccine, though clinical trials for the Bundibugyo strain are ongoing.
