The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has become the deadliest in the country's history, with 2,325 deaths and 4,945 confirmed cases recorded as of Aug. 16, surpassing the 2,299 deaths logged during the 2018-2020 outbreak.

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher warned Friday that "Ebola is winning in the Democratic Republic of the Congo," noting the epidemic was killing one person every 30 minutes and called for doubled burial teams, tripled treatment capacity and improved contact tracing.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday the outbreak is on track to eclipse the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic, which recorded 28,616 cases and 11,310 deaths. The current outbreak reached 2,000 deaths in under three months, whereas the West Africa outbreak took nearly five months to reach 1,000.

The case fatality ratio has climbed from about 20% in early June to 46%, a trend experts attribute to shortcomings in surveillance and care access rather than increased viral lethality. Many cases are detected only after patients die in the community.

The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo species of Ebola, has no approved vaccines or treatments. Several experimental therapies are under evaluation, and the UK's MHRA has authorized the first human trials of a Bundibugyo vaccine developed using technology similar to the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 jab.

A clinical trial called Ebo-Pep, testing the antiviral obeldesivir as a post-exposure treatment, has drawn criticism from experts who argue its placebo-controlled design puts health workers at undue risk. At least 155 health care workers had been infected and 45 had died as of Aug. 9, according to WHO data.
