Content overview: “Ebola Death Toll in Congo Passes 4,000 as Treatment Center Burned Down”. The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now claimed more than 4,000 lives, according to health authorities, marking a grim milestone in the second-largest Ebola epidemic in history. The outbreak, which began in August 2018, has ravaged the eastern provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, areas already beset by armed conflict and community mistrust. The latest figures from the Congolese health ministry show that over 4,000 people have died from the virus, with more than 6,000 confirmed and probable cases.
This surpasses the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak in terms of duration, though not in total deaths, which exceeded 11,000. Compounding the crisis, an Ebola treatment center was set on fire by attackers in the town of Butembo, a hotspot for the disease.
