BUNIA, Congo (AP) – At least 2,000 people have died in Congo's Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as rebel conflict, bad roads and work stoppages over payment issues challenge the urgent response in a remote region. Government data published overnight into Tuesday showed the outbreak has 4,381 confirmed cases, including 2,011 deaths. Starting from the first confirmed case, the death toll was reached almost three times faster than in the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the worst on record.

Congo's Ebola outbreak has recorded at least 2,000 deaths among confirmed cases, the fastest growing on record.
