The number of deaths in Democratic Republic ​of Congo's Ebola outbreak has surpassed 4,000, ‌government data showed on Friday, as the worst epidemic in the country's history resists containment efforts.

The outbreak, caused ​by the Bundibugyo species of Ebola, became ​the largest and deadliest in Congo after surpassing the ⁠2018-2020 epidemic.
