The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ebola outbreak has grown to over 11,000 confirmed cases, the government confirmed on Tuesday. The tally reflects the cumulative number of infections reported since the outbreak began in the eastern provinces last year.
Health officials have been working to contain the spread, but the high case count underscores the ongoing challenge faced by the country’s medical infrastructure. The Ministry of Health has urged communities to adhere to prevention measures and seek early treatment.
International partners, including the World Health Organization, continue to support Congo’s response efforts. The situation remains fluid, and updates will follow as new data emerge.
