The number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has exceeded 7,000, according to Congolese authorities. This is the worst Ebola epidemic in the country's history, which has faced a significant outbreak of the disease.
Despite the high number of infections recorded, Congolese authorities indicate that the peak of the epidemic may have already been surpassed, which represents a positive sign in combating the spread of the disease.
The outbreak in the DRC continues to be one of the most severe recorded worldwide, mainly affecting the eastern region of the country, where security conditions and social instability have hindered humanitarian response and public health efforts.
