## Resource

Ebola in Congo is now the deadliest outbreak in the country’s history, with over 3,000 deaths and more than 6,000 confirmed cases—spreading faster than ever before across six provinces. New hotspots erupted last week in North Kivu, where death rates are soaring, while health workers face impossible conditions, even going on strike over unpaid wages. Conflict, attacks on aid teams, migrant miners, and crumbling health systems are accelerating the crisis. The Africa CDC warns actual cases may be three times higher due to poor surveillance. Though no vaccine exists for this strain, Ervebo—proven effective against past outbreaks—is being rolled out, while scientists race to develop new countermeasures.
