The Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak has killed over 2,000 people and is on track to become the deadliest outbreak in history. The WHO is racing to reverse the escalating crisis within three months.
Ebola outbreaks usually plateau as public health measures slow transmission. This one is accelerating instead. The scale and speed mean response efforts are failing to contain spread. The WHO's three-month timeline is aggressive — it signals that without rapid intervention, the death toll will continue climbing. Congo's outbreak is the fastest-growing on record, which means the virus is spreading faster than past outbreaks despite decades of experience managing Ebola.
