Congo Ebola Outbreak Death Toll Nears 1,000

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has killed at least 930 people, with 37 new deaths recorded in a single day, as the disease spreads faster than any previous outbreak in the country.

Health officials are considering new travel restrictions to contain the virus, while aid groups warn that the response remains underfunded.

Médecins Sans Frontières said the outbreak should never have caught the world off guard, calling it a predictable consequence of weak health systems.

The epidemic is now one of the deadliest in Congo’s history, with no sign of slowing.
