Ebola cases in Congo top 3,200, nearing record of the country's worst outbreak

Confirmed Ebola cases in Congo have reached 3,262 with 1,437 deaths, nearing the 2018-2020 outbreak record. The current outbreak in eastern Ituri province is spreading rapidly due to the Bundibugyo virus, which lacks approved vaccines, and challenges like rebel violence and health worker strikes. Communities face difficulties in tracking cases due to displacement and distrust.
