Ebola Outbreak 'Growing Faster, Wider' as DRC Death Toll Passes 2,500: UN The Democratic Republic of Congo's struggle against the Ebola virus has become a grim reminder that defeating a deadly disease requires more than just medicine.
The UN's warning that the outbreak is spreading faster and wider than ever before should serve as a stark alarm to global leaders. Over 2,500 people have died in the outbreak, with thousands more infected.
But it's not just the numbers that paint a picture of chaos and despair. In conflict ridden eastern DRC, health workers are seen as occupiers rather than saviors.
