More than 4,000 people have died in an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to reports citing Congolese authorities. ABC News and CBS News reported that officials are struggling to contain the virus, with CBS describing it as the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record.
Reuters reported that thousands of people fled an Ebola-affected camp, raising concerns that the disease could spread further. The response suffered another setback when a transit centre in a camp burned down, according to UN News. Mobile laboratories are also being deployed as part of efforts to respond to the outbreak, Yahoo reported.
