The Democratic Republic of Congo is facing its worst Ebola outbreak on record, with more than 7,000 cases reported and thousands of deaths. The outbreak, driven by the Bundibugyo strain, has spread across seven provinces, raising concerns about containment and regional transmission. We take a look at the factors driving the outbreak, the response on the ground, the lack of an approved vaccine or treatment for this strain, and the potential risk to neighbouring countries, including South Africa.
