The Democratic Republic of the Congo has reported 1,333 confirmed Ebola cases and 399 deaths, according to an update from the government cited by Israeli media. The outbreak, which began over a year ago, continues to spread in affected regions.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo's latest official update, reported via Israeli media, shows the country's Ebola outbreak tally rising to 1,333 confirmed cases and 399 deaths. This marks a steady increase since the outbreak was first declared in August 2018. The Zioneer has tracked the outbreak's progression from 550 confirmed cases and 101 deaths in early June to the current figures, with the death toll nearly quadrupling over that period. Health authorities continue to contend with the outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri provinces, where the response has been hampered by armed group activity and community resistance. As of early July, the outbreak remains the second-largest in history, after the 2014–2016 West Africa epidemic. The Red Cross warned in mid-June that the peak was still ahead, and the outbreak could last another year.
