Congo: Over 4,000 Ebola cases

The Democratic Republic of Congo has officially recorded over 4,000 cases of the Ebola virus, marking the second-largest outbreak in history. According to recent public health data, there have been 4,053 confirmed cases and 1,850 deaths across five provinces, including North Kivu and Ituri. Experts suggest the actual infection rate is likely higher due to early detection delays and ongoing regional conflict. This outbreak, which began in early 2019, is currently the fastest-spreading Ebola epidemic ever documented.
