Ebola cases in DR Congo top 3,200, nearing record of country’s worst outbreak

The Democratic Republic of Congo has reported 3,262 confirmed cases of Ebola, marking the highest number since the country's worst outbreak between 2018 and 2020. The current outbreak, which has resulted in 1,437 deaths, is described as the fastest spread of the virus on record, primarily affecting the eastern Ituri province. Officials note that this outbreak is approaching the scale of the 2018-2020 epidemic, which saw over 3,400 cases and more than 2,200 deaths. The 2014-2016 West African outbreak remains the deadliest globally, with 28,000 cases and over 11,000 deaths. Concerns are growing among local residents due to challenges in reaching affected communities, with some areas reportedly being abandoned by responders due to safety risks posed by hostile actions from locals and rebel groups.
