WHO says Congo's Ebola outbreak on track to surpass deadliest one in history

The Congo Ebola outbreak is projected to exceed the 2014-2016 West African epidemic. This outbreak is currently the fastest-growing in recorded history. Health authorities believe the outbreak began months earlier than initially declared. Experts note challenges in tracking and managing the disease due to conflict and poor infrastructure. The World Health Organization anticipates the outbreak's peak within six months, with a longer duration possible.
