The World Health Organization says an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) could be brought under control within about three months, despite concerns that it is moving faster than current containment efforts.

WHO officials say the window for containing the outbreak depends on the response being scaled up quickly. Coverage emphasizes the need for sufficient resources, while both outlets describe the outbreak as outpacing containment work at present. The reports also present the statement as conditional—expressing cautious hope—rather than a guaranteed outcome. Overall, both sources align on the timing outlook and the assessment that additional support is required for containment measures to keep pace with transmission.
