Ebola Surge in Congo Hits New High

Ebola Surge in Congo Hits New High

Published 3 days, 13 hours ago
Description

Ebola is exploding in Congo with 72 new cases in one day, pushing total infections to 782 and deaths to 181 — a deadly 23% fatality rate. Caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain, with no vaccine or treatment, the outbreak is concentrated in war-torn Ituri province, where a million displaced people and rugged terrain make containment nearly impossible. As the virus spills into Uganda, WHO and Africa CDC are racing to scale up testing, tracing, and treatment — but urgent funding is needed to stop this deadly spread before it escalates further.
