The Democratic Republic of the Congo is experiencing its deadliest Ebola outbreak on record, with over 2,300 deaths and nearly 5,000 confirmed cases spreading to a sixth province. The outbreak involves a strain with no vaccine and is spreading at an exceptional pace, fueled by conflict, misinformation, and public mistrust that hampers health authorities' containment efforts. The WHO and other health organizations are intensifying community engagement strategies, including using motorbike riders to transport the sick, to boost response efforts. This outbreak is now the second-most lethal Ebola epidemic globally, surpassed only by the 2014-2016 West African outbreak.
