剛果民主共和國（DRC）目前正面臨其史上最大的伊波拉疫情。
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is currently facing its largest Ebola outbreak in history.
截至2026年8月，這場危機已在49個衛生區導致3,605例確診病例和1,587例死亡。
As of August 2026, the crisis has resulted in 3,605 confirmed cases and 1,587 deaths across 49 health zones.
這次緊急狀況尤其令人擔憂，因為其病原體為本迪布吉奧（Bundibugyo）病毒，這是一種罕見的毒株，目前尚無核准的疫苗或特定治療方法。
This emergency is particularly concerning because it is caused by the Bundibugyo virus, a rare strain for which there are currently no approved vaccines or specific treatments available.
衛生官員表示，該病毒的傳播速度超過該國以往的16次疫情，伊圖里（Ituri）省正是當前的震中。
Health officials report that the virus is spreading faster than in any of the country’s previous 16 outbreaks, with Ituri province serving as the current epicenter.
地區內持續的武裝衝突經常破壞醫療設施，並阻礙應變小組進入偏遠地區。
Ongoing armed conflict in the region frequently disrupts health facilities and prevents response teams from reaching remote areas.
與2018至2020年得益於有效疫苗的流行病不同，當前形勢依然極其不穩定。
Unlike the 2018–2020 epidemic, which benefited from effective vaccines, this situation remains highly volatile.
迅速的傳播加上持續的安全不穩定狀況，突顯了在衝突頻發地區控制傳染病的極大困難，也凸顯了國際支援與醫學創新的迫切需求。
The rapid transmission combined with persistent security instability underscores the extreme difficulty of managing infectious disease in conflict-prone regions, highlighting the urgent need for international support and medical innovation.
