Ebola-Explainer — Charts. Two line charts and a map. The line charts show the rate of Ebola cases and deaths in the current outbreak compared to the 2014-16 West Africa outbreak, which was the worst in history. The map shows health zones in eastern Congo that have been impacted by the outbreak. These charts are current as of July 23, 2026 and will not update. Source: ECDC; WHO; Congo Ministry of Health.
