# The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has now surpassed ten-thousand cases, making it the country’s largest outbreak on record. It is also the second largest Ebola virus outbreak globally. The DRC has recorded ten-thousand-and-60 cases with four-thousand-887 deaths. Earlier this month, Kenya and Nigeria reported their first cases linked to the ongoing outbreak. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says Africa has the expertise and the capacity, but they must be mobilised faster to stop this outbreak and save lives.
