Congo Ebola outbreak spreads to affect total of 60 areas in fastest-growing outbreak in history

A deadly Ebola outbreak in Congo started months before officials recognized it and has since spread across multiple provinces faster than health workers can respond. The outbreak is caused by a virus strain with no approved vaccines or treatments, has killed thousands of people, and is now the deadliest in Congo's history. International health organizations warn that funding shortages and infrastructure problems are hampering containment efforts.
