Congo's Ebola outbreak accelerates as deaths climb past 3,000

Congo's Ebola outbreak has surged to 6,186 confirmed cases and 3,007 deaths across six provinces, with authorities warning containment efforts remain below targets amid ongoing conflict, attacks on health workers, and weak surveillance. Vaccination with the Ervebo vaccine is starting for frontline workers, but there is no approved treatment for the Bundibugyo virus, and the WHO cautions the outbreak could surpass the deadliest on record while case counts may be undercounted, even as schools resume and transmission risks continue.
