IndiaThe Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has resulted in over 3,000 deaths and more than 6,100 confirmed cases, marking the worst epidemic in the country's history. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, began in Ituri province in May and has now spread to six provinces. Experts suggest the outbreak might have started earlier, in January. Challenges include weak surveillance systems, community resistance, insecurity, and limited healthcare infrastructure. The World Health Organization warns that the outbreak could surpass the 2014–2016 West African Ebola epidemic in terms of fatalities. Meanwhile, schools have reopened across the country despite concerns about potential transmission, though many lack adequate resources like clean water and hygiene supplies.
