Episode Details

A six-month-old girl buried this week becomes the third child from the same orphanage to die from Ebola in eastern Congo — a chilling reminder of the virus’s relentless spread. The Bundibugyo strain, with no approved treatments or vaccines, has devastated the Ituri region, where 90% of cases cluster. Health workers, often lacking proper gear, battle community resistance — especially around burial customs — while managing over 890 confirmed cases and 200+ deaths. The outbreak has now crossed into Uganda, infecting 19, and threatens 35,000 potential contacts — all while early testing remains critically absent.
