Record Ebola outbreak in DR Congo: nearly 4,000 cases and 1,800 deaths

The Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record, with nearly 4,000 confirmed cases and over 1,800 deaths. The crisis is being compounded by a strike among healthcare workers in Ituri province, who have walked off the job over unpaid salaries and bonuses, severely hampering the epidemic response.
