The outbreak that was declared in eastern Congo in August is already the second deadliest in history,
and efforts to control it have been complicated by the volatile security situation and deep community mistrust.
The death toll stood at 994 on Friday but was expected to surpass 1,000 when Congo’s health ministry releases its daily figures later in the day. WHO has maintained that this Ebola outbreak is geographically contained even as the number of cases rises in a dense, highly mobile population near the border with Uganda and Rwanda.
