## Summary

Congo’s Ebola outbreak has exceeded 11,000 reported cases, underscoring the scale of a health emergency that authorities have struggled to contain. Conflict and a crisis in the health system have hindered the response since the outbreak was declared in mid-May.

Health ministry data released on Wednesday recorded 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths, nearly half the reported cases. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, for which there is no known vaccine or treatment, and has spread to eight of Congo’s 26 provinces.
