Congo faces historic Ebola surge

The Ministry of Health in Congo announced that the fastest Ebola outbreak in history has reached two new regions in the eastern part of the country, bringing the total number of affected areas to 60. The data records 5,794 confirmed cases and 2,786 deaths, with the death rate increasing in some regions due to delayed response efforts. The outbreak is spreading under difficult conditions, including insecurity, displacement, and healthcare worker strikes, which has led the World Health Organization to consider the situation out of control. It is expected that the death toll will surpass that of the West Africa Ebola epidemic by more than 11,000 fatalities, as vaccination campaigns for field staff using the Ervebo vaccine have now begun.
