Ebola Treatment Center Burned as Congo Outbreak Death Toll Exceeds 4,000

Source Summary

Congo's Ebola outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people, making it the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history. An Ebola treatment center was burned down as authorities struggle to contain the epidemic.

Why it matters
