Ebola death toll in Congo rises to at least 930, including dozens of health workers
- At least 930 people have died and 2,344 cases confirmed — this is the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record.
- Response is being hampered by eastern Congo insecurity: rebel violence, about a dozen attacks on health teams and unpaid staff walking off the job.
- The outbreak is caused by the less-common Bundibugyo strain (no approved vaccine or treatment) and WHO says ~80% of new cases come from unknown transmission chains.
