Ebola Outbreak in Congo Escalates | Dover News

Ebola’s racing through eastern Congo faster than ever, possibly surpassing the deadliest outbreak in 2014–2016 that killed over 11,000.

This outbreak is moving at breakneck speed, outpacing global response efforts—and reminding us how fragile our defenses are when resources and safety are compromised on the ground.
