DR Congo says the number of confirmed Ebola cases has surpassed 3,000

Official data from the Democratic Republic of Congo indicates that the number of confirmed Ebola cases has exceeded 3,000, with 1,354 deaths and 556 recoveries recorded. The outbreak, which has spread to five provinces, is described as the fastest-spreading Ebola epidemic ever documented. The situation is further complicated by ongoing armed conflict in the affected region. Health workers in Bunia, where the outbreak is centered, have staged a strike over unpaid bonuses, affecting patient care. The Bundibugyo strain, which lacks a vaccine or specific treatment, continues to pose a significant threat. Researchers at the University of Oxford have begun testing an experimental vaccine against the strain.
