DRC Ebola Outbreak Now Fastest on Record, WHO Warns

The DRC's 17th Ebola outbreak has killed over 2,000 of 4,449 recorded cases — the fastest-moving on record. WHO says it is spreading faster than authorities can contain and may surpass the 2014–2016 West Africa crisis, which killed at least 11,300. No vaccine exists for the Bundibugyo strain involved. WHO projects six to twelve months before the outbreak peaks.
