Congo says the death toll in fastest-growing Ebola outbreak has passed 1,500

The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in Congo has resulted in 1,521 deaths and 3,442 cases as of Tuesday, driven by the Bundibugyo virus with no approved vaccines or treatments. Challenges include lagging contact tracing at 78%, displacement from armed conflict, and attacks on health facilities, with the outbreak concentrated in Ituri province and affecting five other provinces including Kisangani.
