Congo’s authorities said that the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has topped 6,000 cases with 2,911 deaths.⁣ ⁣ More than 1,360 people have recovered from the virus, in what authorities said was an “encouraging” development.⁣ ⁣ The outbreak in eastern Congo is spreading under extremely difficult conditions, fueled by insecurity, displacement, a health workers’ strike and intense population movements. The situation is particularly concerning at displacement sites, where residents already live in extremely precarious conditions.⁣ ⁣ Last week, the virus spilled into two new health zones in the region.⁣ ⁣ #ebola #congo
