> The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has exceeded 6,000 confirmed infections, with 2,911 deaths. It has reached about 60 health zones across six provinces, while conflict and insecurity in the east hinder response teams. Authorities are vaccinating frontline health workers, though the vaccine’s effectiveness against the Bundibugyo strain remains uncertain.
