Deadly Ebola Outbreak Hits Democratic Republic of Congo: Health Officials Scramble to Contain New Strain.

With Ebola's high mortality rate and potential for rapid spread, the World Health Organization and local health authorities are working around the clock to identify and isolate infected individuals, prevent further transmission, and develop an effective response to this emerging crisis.
