Coverage over time: Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo
Compiled Aug 3
An Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo has grown into one of the worst in the country's history, surpassing 3,200 cases and killing more than 1,000 people. The World Health Organization has described it as the fastest-spreading Ebola outbreak on record, with health officials warning that most transmission chains are unknown, making containment difficult. Dozens of health workers are among the dead, further straining the response effort. The outbreak continues to escalate, approaching the scale of Congo's previous worst recorded Ebola epidemic.
