Congo’s Deadliest Ebola Outbreak Yet | Australia News

Ebola’s deadliest outbreak yet is ravaging the Democratic Republic of Congo, with over 2,300 deaths and nearly 5,000 confirmed cases—surpassing even the 2018-2020 epidemic. The Bundibugyo strain, with no approved vaccines or treatments, is spreading fast amid weak health systems, community resistance, and instability. Experts warn this isn’t about a deadlier virus, but failures in detection and care—many cases found too late, some only after death. Though a brief spill into Uganda was contained, globally this outbreak rivals the 2014-2016 West African crisis. With Ebola spreading through bodily fluids and causing severe bleeding, the race is on to improve early detection and treatment to stop the surge.
