The Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ebola outbreak has reached a new milestone, with confirmed cases surpassing 4,000, according to a report by Israeli news outlet N12. The figure makes it the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history. The outbreak has been tracked by The Zioneer for months, with earlier reports documenting case counts rising from hundreds in June to nearly 3,000 in late July. The current figure is a significant increase, though the true number of cases may be higher, as the World Health Organization previously estimated that official figures may undercount by a factor of two to four.
