Ebola Surge in DRC Demands Urgent Action

Ebola in the DRC is escalating fast, with 896 confirmed cases and 232 deaths—mostly in Ituri province—driven by the deadly Bundibugyo strain that has no vaccine or treatment. Healthcare workers are paying a steep price: 75 infected, 17 dead. Community delays in seeking medical care and reliance on traditional healers are slowing early detection. But progress is being made: contact tracing now reaches 75% of contacts, 78 have recovered, and a Chinese medical team is arriving for support. Meanwhile, Uganda remains stable with no new cases in 12 days, while UN agencies conduct over a million border screenings to prevent spread.
