Ebola Surge in Congo Hits 782 Cases

Ebola’s hitting Congo hard — 72 new cases in one day, pushing total confirmed cases to 782 and deaths to 181. Experts warn the real number is likely much higher, with the outbreak likely starting weeks before its May 15th declaration. Contact tracing is lagging at just 56%, and the Bundibugyo strain has no vaccine or treatment. Conflict and displacement of nearly a million people are crippling containment efforts. WHO and Africa CDC are ramping up response, but they’re urgently calling for more global support — and it’s already spreading across borders into Uganda, with rugged terrain and mining activity making control even harder.
