DRC health ministry data on the 11th show deaths in the current Ebola outbreak have exceeded 2,000, with roughly half occurring in the past 20 days, UN senior Ebola coordinator Julian Hennis said on social media. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo ebolavirus; there is currently no licensed vaccine or specific therapy for this strain. Candidate vaccines and treatments are undergoing clinical trials. Hennis urged immediate additional action to save lives and contain the outbreak.
