Ebola Deaths Exceed 4,000 in Congo
Approximately 4,018 people have died out of 8,300 confirmed cases of Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, during the fastest outbreak the country has experienced. This wave began in May 2026 and is attributed to the rare Bundibugyo strain. So far, there is no available effective treatment or vaccine for this strain. The World Health Organization continues to warn of the disease spreading to new healthy areas, which increases pressure on limited healthcare resources and has led the outbreak to be declared a public health emergency of international concern, with new cases still being reported across various regions, particularly in Ituri Province.
