自1976年被發現以來，剛果民主共和國（DRC）已面臨多次伊波拉病毒爆發，但始於2026年5月15日的當前危機史無前例。
Since its discovery in 1976, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has faced numerous Ebola outbreaks, but the current crisis, which began on May 15, 2026, is unprecedented.
此次疫情由Bundibugyo病毒引起，是該國史上最大的一次，已確診超過6,600例，死亡人數更高達3,100人以上。
Caused by the Bundibugyo virus, this outbreak is now the largest in the country's history, with over 6,600 confirmed cases and a staggering death toll exceeding 3,100.
與包括2018至2020年基伍（Kivu）事件在內的過往危機不同，此次疫情擴散速度更快。
Unlike previous crises, including the 2018–2020 Kivu event, this outbreak is spreading more rapidly.
醫療救援人員面對一種阻礙控制疫情的「情境三元組」。
Healthcare responders face a difficult 'contextual triad' that complicates containment.
首先，現有疫苗和治療方法均針對薩伊爾（Zaire）伊波拉病毒開發，對此特定毒株幾乎無效。
First, existing vaccines and treatments were designed for the Zaire ebolavirus, making them largely ineffective against this specific strain.
其次，伊圖里（Ituri）和北基伍等疫區武裝衝突持續，造成嚴重安全風險，並阻礙援助送達。
Second, persistent armed conflict in the affected regions, such as Ituri and North Kivu, creates significant security risks and hinders the delivery of aid.
加上醫療基礎設施脆弱，這些因素使當前情勢成為一場具有國際關注的複雜公共衛生緊急事件。
Coupled with fragile healthcare infrastructure, these factors make the current situation a complex public health emergency of international concern.
國際組織與當地政府雖持續努力爭取穩定，但醫學、安全與社會挑戰的疊加效應表明，結束此次疫情將需要持續且多方面的全球協力。
International organizations and local authorities continue to strive for stability, yet the combination of medical, security, and social challenges suggests that ending the outbreak will require a sustained and multifaceted global effort.
