What happened
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now affecting a sixth province, intensifying fears about the strain on resources and the potential for a record death toll. The outbreak has been exacerbated by a lack of resources, according to Oxfam.
The Africa CDC confirmed the spread to the new province. The BBC and Al Jazeera have both covered the outbreak's rapid spread and the challenges posed by limited resources.
The open question is whether the outbreak can be contained before it reaches more densely populated areas.
