Story summary

Congo's Ebola outbreak has surpassed 9,000 confirmed cases, with nearly half resulting in death, according to the health ministry data released on Tuesday. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, has seen 4,381 deaths and is now the largest and deadliest in Congo’s history. Globally, it ranks second only to the 2014-2016 West African epidemic that had over 28,600 confirmed cases and more than 11,000 deaths across Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The current strain lacks approved vaccines or treatments, raising concerns about cross-border transmission; recently, Kenya reported its first imported case from Congo, leading to increased screening measures and public health alerts in Nairobi.
