Congo says 2,000 people have died in its Ebola outbreak, the fastest growing on record
At least 2,000 people have died in Congo's Ebola outbreak, according to government data, which recorded a total of 4,381 confirmed cases and is the fastest growing on record. Health authorities are struggling to reach remote areas due to challenges like rebel conflict, bad roads, and work stoppages over payment issues. The rare Bundibugyo virus responsible for the disease currently has no approved vaccines or treatments.
