WHO warns DR Congo Ebola outbreak may become deadliest on record

The World Health Organization has warned that the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is on track to surpass the 2014–2016 West Africa epidemic — the deadliest in recorded history. WHO's director-general said the outbreak will eclipse that toll if it continues at its current pace. DR Congo has been battling recurring Ebola outbreaks for decades.
