Original: Congo's Ebola outbreak tops 8,000 cases as disease remains out of control
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has surpassed 8,000 cases, with health authorities still unable to bring the disease under control. The milestone underscores the difficulty of containing the epidemic amid conflict, community mistrust and stretched response efforts in the affected region.
