Congo Ebola outbreak becomes deadliest in country’s history as toll hits 2,325

Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak has become the deadliest on record. This outbreak has now killed 2,325 people, surpassing previous records. The current outbreak is caused by a rare Ebola species with no approved treatments. Experts cite surveillance and detection shortcomings for the rising fatality rate. This situation is only dwarfed by West Africa's 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak.
