Impact verdict
Medium impact. With 65 deaths and 246 cases, the outbreak is serious but currently regionally contained within eastern DRC. Insured losses are likely limited given low insurance penetration in the region, though reinsurance and life & health exposures exist for international aid workers, NGOs, and any applicable treaty covers.
