Deadliest Ebola outbreak in Congo's history reaches 11,000 cases
Congo's Ebola outbreak has become the deadliest in the country's history, with more than 11,000 cases and over 5,000 deaths recorded so far as conflict, strikes and mistrust hamper response.
The Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak has exceeded 11,000 cases, Euronews and The Hindu reported. The Hindu and Daily Sabah reported 5,387 deaths, while Euronews gave a figure of more than 5,000; WDIV said nearly half of recorded cases had proved fatal. On 15 November, WDIV reported the outbreak remained out of control six months into the response, and Internazionale attributed a similar assessment to MSF.
