Ebola Outbreak in Congo: Death Toll Surpasses 3,000 Cases

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has led to over 3,000 deaths and 6,100 cases, marking the worst epidemic in the country's history. Weak surveillance and ongoing insecurity complicate containment efforts, while schools have reopened amid fears of transmission. With no approved vaccine for the Bundibugyo species, the situation remains critical, although Britain has committed over £50 million to assist in containment efforts.
