Part of situation: DR Congo Ebola outbreak becomes deadliest in national record (9 clusters)

Ebola outbreak in DRC reaches record speed with over 2,600 deaths

Ebola outbreak Bundibugyo virus Ervebo vaccine Democratic Republic of the Congo Public health emergency

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing its fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history, driven by the rare Bundibugyo strain. The epidemic has resulted in over 5,500 confirmed cases and more than 2,600 deaths, with a mortality rate approaching 48 percent. The World Health Organization has declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, warning of potential regional expansion.

To combat the spread, the WHO and partners have delivered an initial batch of 16,250 doses of the Ervebo vaccine to Kinshasa. While Ervebo was designed for the Zaire strain, laboratory data suggests it may offer some protection against Bundibugyo. Other vaccines are currently in clinical trials.

Response efforts are severely hindered by armed conflict, population displacement, and attacks on medical personnel. The Red Cross has reported violent incidents resulting in injuries to volunteers and the destruction of humanitarian equipment. Amidst the crisis, Pope Leo XIV has called for urgent international solidarity and emphasized the necessity of involving local communities in prevention efforts to save lives.
