Ebola Surge in Eastern Congo | Irvine News
Description
Eastern Congo battles its fastest-growing Ebola outbreak ever, with over 1,700 deaths and 3,800 cases — and nearly 80% of new infections slipping through contact tracing. The Bundibugyo strain, with no approved vaccines or treatments, spreads unchecked amid community distrust, armed violence, and logistical nightmares. Meanwhile, clinical trials for potential treatments and vaccines are underway, while health workers protest unpaid wages. WHO’s top official is set to visit, as the search for patient zero and thousands of contacts continues in a crisis that’s now reached major cities.
