United Kingdom pledged more than £50 million ($67.56 million) in new funding on Tuesday to contain an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where confirmed cases have surpassed 6,000. The contribution elevates Britain's total epidemic response allocation to £78 million following an earlier £20 million pledge in May. The outbreak marks the country's largest-ever epidemic and ranks as the second-largest and fastest-spreading on record.
