Government data shows the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now killed more than 4,000 people. The outbreak has been one of the deadliest ever recorded, with health teams struggling against difficult terrain, population displacement and mistrust that have slowed containment efforts. Health authorities and international agencies continue vaccination and treatment campaigns as cases persist, and the rising toll is renewing concern about how long it will take to bring the epidemic under control.
