DR Congo Faces Its Deadliest Ebola Outbreak on Record

Original: “Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is currently facing the largest and deadliest Ebola disease outbreak in its hist

Médecins Sans Frontières warns that the Democratic Republic of the Congo is experiencing the largest and deadliest Ebola outbreak in its history, with the virus spreading at an alarming rate. The organisation says ongoing war conditions in the country are severely hampering the response, making it much harder for health teams to reach affected communities and bring the outbreak under control.

Why now: MSF has raised the alarm that conflict conditions are letting the historic Ebola outbreak spread faster and more lethally.
