Congo Ebola Outbreak Tops 4,000 Deaths

Congo's Ebola outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people, with 4,018 deaths among 8,300 confirmed cases, the health ministry said. The rare Bundibugyo virus, which has no approved treatment or vaccine, has caused the fastest-growing outbreak in history. Mistrust and insecurity are hampering containment efforts, and a local politician was killed for defending the response.
